Spike

They pointed out that the program includes radical maintenance of some units at various stations, in addition to regular maintenance of all other units that can be taken out of service, in light of the current abundance and absence of a need to keep them in a ready-to-operate mode. It is noteworthy the electricity load this Monday was about 13400 MW, indicating a difference of about 1500 MW from the peak loads recorded this summer
