Electricity outage affects several districts in Crimean capital
An electricity outage affected several districts in Simferopol, the capital of Crimea Sunday night, officials at the Krymenergo power utility said.
“We don’t have full information at the moment because
data continues coming in but outages have occurred not only in
Simferopol but also in other parts of Crimea,” Krymenergo spokeswoman
Viktoria Lapshina said, adding that the causes of the outage were not
clear at the moment.
Electricity supplies were normal in
the downtown part of Simferopol, an Itar-Tass correspondent said in an
eyewitness account, but a number of other districts - the Old City,
Moskalets, and Kiyevsky - were blacked out practically in full, with the
only light coming from headlights of cars moving along the streets.
Also, one could see candlelight in the windows of residential apartments
here and there.

Crimea installs 900 diesel generators, makes one month water reserves
“There are about 900 diesel generators in the autonomy. With the consumption of 300 to 500 tonnes of diesel fuel a day, we can have enough mobile generators to cover the entire peninsula,” he said.
He admitted, though, that “there may be some problems with electricity supplies for two or three days [if Ukraine cuts off electricity to Crimea], but we have all the sites ready, equipment is here and is being installed,” the prime minister said.
He expressed hope that “common sense will prevail among the Ukrainian authorities.”
Aksyonov also said that Crimea had desalination plants. “And we also have water reserves to last for a month or a month and a half. This time will allow us to solve certain issues,” he said. en.itar-tass.com 15/3/14

Lights turn on in outage-ridden districts of Simferopol...
ReplyDeleteThe supply of electricity has been resumed to the outage-ridden districts of Simferopol, to the Kievsky District of the administrative center of the Republic of Crimea and to the Old City. The outages lasted more than four hours.
Earlier on Monday, Rustam Temirgaliyev, First Vice-Premir of the Republic of Crimea, said Ukraine had cut down by 50 percent the amount of electric power being supplied to Crimea.
Temirgaliyev said the Republic is linked with Ukraine by three high-voltage power transmission lines (LEP-330). "The Ukrainian supplier company UkrEnergo has halved the amount of electric power being supplied via these LEP lines. The Peninsula currently receives 50 percent of the planned amount of electric power," he explained.
Following the power cutdown, the Crimea Power Systems" Company, in accordance with the rules of procedure, carried out a routine rolling cutoffs in the supply of electricity to facilities on the Peninsula.
Temirgaliyev said Crimea had been ready for such a step of Kiev and promptly reacted to the decline in power supply.
