Occupied Crimea has been switched to a ‘three hours on, three hours off’ power supply schedule due to electricity supply problems
The occupying company ‘Krymenergo’ has announced power cuts.
Power rationing schedules have come into effect in Alushta, Sudak, the Kurman, Yevpatoria and Perekop districts of occupied Crimea.
In Sevastopol, the occupying authorities have also introduced a power-saving regime. They have warned that temporary power cuts affecting consumers are possible due to overloading of the electricity grid outside the city.
How the ‘three hours on, three hours off’ scheme works
In the Yevpatoria district, electricity will be supplied according to a schedule: three hours without power followed by three hours with power.
In the Perekop district and Alushta, the schedule will depend on whether the day is even or odd. On odd-numbered days, there will be no power from 00:00 to 03:00, then from 06:00 to 09:00, and so on. On even-numbered days, power cuts will begin from 03:00 to 06:00 and will be repeated every three hours.
In Sudak and the Kurman district, power cuts in the evening are expected to last no more than three hours.
The occupying ‘Krymenergo’ has stated that the power restriction schedules are being introduced due to incidents at the peninsula’s power grid facilities.
The company has stated that information on the schedules is to be published on the official pages of the occupying administrations, municipalities and on the company’s own website.
What is happening in Sevastopol
The occupying head of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, has announced possible temporary power cuts in the city.
According to him, this is due to an overload on the electricity grids outside Sevastopol.
On 21 June, the occupation-run ‘Krymenergo’ reported damage to the power grids. As a result, some consumers in the North-Western, Central and South-Coastal energy districts were left without power.
On the same day, disruptions were recorded in occupied Crimea not only to the electricity supply but also to the water supply.
The power problems arose following overnight strikes on targets in occupied Crimea on 21 June.
The occupying authorities officially attribute the power cuts to faults in the electricity grid and do not link them to the strikes.
