“… YASNO released an infographic about the main Christmas tree of the country. Colleagues welcomed the decision of the city authorities to save electricity this year and put up a Christmas tree without illumination and garlands. And to show everyone exactly how much electricity is saved thanks to the rejection of illumination – we decided to make an infographic. But the context read it differently. Somewhere frankly distorted publications came out,” Kovalenko wrote .
“The New Year tree will be and will be as energy-efficient as possible, but it will still be festive for all of us. The post, which was read incorrectly, has been removed. Unfortunately, such stories sometimes happen. I’m sorry,” he added.

The company itself published a similar message , responding to comments and corrections under the infographic about the “price” of the Christmas tree.
“Today, an end was put to the disputes regarding the installation of the country’s main Christmas tree. And, we don’t know about you, but we are glad that it will also be a decision regarding the lack of illuminations on it. Because it means that it will be possible to reduce a significant additional load on the network. And, therefore, to reduce the number of needs for power outages. We were in such a hurry to make an up-to-date infographic for you that we made a mistake. In order not to mislead anyone else, we have deleted the previous post. We apologize for the inaccuracies,” YASNO said.
Context
The day before, the YASNO company published a message, which said that the main Christmas tree of Ukraine usually shines for 25 days and creates an additional load on the power grid of Kyiv, and in one day the festive tree consumes 5.96 MW of electricity.
The message appeared on the same day as the information from the head of the company organizing the installation of the Folk Ukraine Christmas tree, Ihor Dobrutskyi, who told “Vechirnyi Kyiv” that “the new Christmas tree should be up to 10 meters high and without illumination.”
