Power supply of populated areas was previously restored through the primary distribution network or by means of movable standby power sources.
The hotline receives requests from individuals (owners of private residences), specialists visit specific addresses and eliminate certain violations on overhead lines with voltage of 0.4 kV and on inputs to consumers’ house and grounds.
Requests from individuals living in the villages such as Sergey-Pole, Uch-Dere, Kashtany and Moldovka are processed. Each request is under special control.
In total, more than 70 brigades-power engineering specialists of Rosseti Kuban from Krasnodar region, contract organizations, as well as 60 pieces of heavy equipment were involved in liquidation of consequences of snowfall in energy area.
Numerous landslide processes in the mountainous areas led to transmission line faults, and fallen trees led to wire breakage.
Let us remember that the cause of interruption of electric power supply was abnormal snowfalls in Sochi. Since February 16th, the power engineering specialists work around the clock – they inspect damage lines, detect violations and liquidate them. Inaccessibility of power facilities complicates the work of specialists under the conditions of rainfalls in the mountainous areas. However, power supply in transmission lines was fully restored on the night of February 19th to February 20th.
Repair works are carried in close cooperation with administration of the city and rescuers. The fallen trees are sawn up with the assistance of community urban services.
You can call by national free telephone hotline of call center 8-800-220-0-220 or use service portal светлаястрана.рф. (“svetlayastrana.RF.”) and provide information on interruption of power supply.
