Local authorities have discovered that hourly shutdowns are not enough to ensure the preservation of the energy supply system.
In unknown Transnistria, new schedules for rolling power outages were published, which became longer. This is what the so-called “government” announced on Saturday, January 4th.
Yes, today consumers are not connected for three hours, and on Sunday – for four. Restrictions apply to Tiraspol, Bender, Rybnitsa, Kamenka, as well as villages.
Moreover, on Friday just before the rolling blackouts began, the power was out for only one hour.
The leader of Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky, explained this by saying yesterday that the closure mechanism was “a test.”
“He confirmed that the hourly stoppage is not enough to ensure that the conservation of the energy supply system does not cover the sharp increase in consumption,” he said.
Krasnoselsky added that 154 MW of electricity can be produced for the needs of consumers at local power generation facilities, and 219 MW is consumed per hour.
“Simple math gives the answers The duration of the power outage needs to be increased Now it is three hours the experts insist on increasing the power supply interruptions from tomorrow to 4 hours,” he explained.
Also, the so-called “government” reported 157 emergency power outages on the morning of January 4 due to overloads of power grids.
We remind you that on January 1, Ukraine suspended the transit of Russian gas. The contract with Gazprom has expired. As a result, gas supplies to Transnistria (left bank) via Moldova (right bank) were also stopped. The buyer of gas from Gazprom is its subsidiary in Moldova, which sends the entire volume of purchased fuel to Transnistria.
Right Bank Moldova has been buying gas for domestic needs from European suppliers for several years. And Transnistria was left without gas, heat and hot water. It was also learned yesterday that the “republic” refused gas from Europe. They still rely on Russia.
