According to Russian power engineers, the reason is not only power consumption, but also, allegedly, overheating of the equipment.
The Rostov region of the Russian Federation has re-introduced energy consumption limit schedules due to heat and the risk of equipment overload, Donenergo JSC reported on Friday, July 19.
The report noted that the power system’s electrical equipment experiences significant load, especially during the day. They said that in order to avoid equipment failure and prevent an emergency situation in the energy system, schedules for temporary shutdown of electricity consumers were implemented.
According to Russian power engineers, the reason is not only power consumption, but also overheating of the equipment.
In addition, for part of the territories of the Stavropol Territory of the Russian Federation, the electricity supply is also limited due to the load on the system, the Ministry of Energy, Industry and Communications reported. At the same time, which territories are subject to restrictions is not indicated.
It was later learned that industrial and commercial facilities in temporarily occupied Sevastopol would also be cut off from electricity due to the shortage. In Crimea and Sevastopol, blackout schedules are in effect starting Tuesday.
We inform that in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation, temporary schedules for limiting energy consumption have been introduced due to high temperatures and equipment overload.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the uncontrolled increase in electricity consumption for cryptocurrency mining could lead to power shortages in some regions.
We reported that due to a failure at the nuclear power plant, the electricity supply was cut off in part of Krasnodar and settlements on the Black Sea coast. A consumption limit of 1.5 GW was introduced in the region. At the same time, Russian media reported that rolling blackouts began in Crimea and Sevastopol to alleviate the situation in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation.
It was found that power outages in the Krasnodar region of Russia affected more than 325 thousand people, in the Rostov region – more than 226 thousand people.
On the same day, more than 115 thousand residents of Buryatia were left without electricity due to the shutdown of a power unit at the Gusinoozerskaya State District Power Plant.
