“I wouldn’t like to think that this is political sabotage. We must be prepared for such provocations. To ensure independence from Ukraine, it is planned to build two thermal power plants in Crimea and Sevastopol,” he said
To reduce power consumption in such situations, a rolling power outage schedule by region is provided. It involves a planned shutdown in the evening for 1,5-2 hours.
“Today, September 1, we do not expect a power outage; power supply in the city has been restored,” Menyailo added.
