Kherson region is preparing for the cold, the region already has 641 backup sources of electricity

At the meeting of the headquarters for life support discussed the preparation for the cold and the situation with electricity. This was reported by the Governor of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo. The focus now is on fuel stocks, backup power to social facilities and grid restoration.

For educational facilities, 3.6 thousand tons of coal were purchased for 60 million rubles. Delivery is expected by mid-October, the next batch is in November. At the same time, schools, hospitals and kindergartens are being checked: are there any serviceable generators, a supply of fuel for them and employees who can work with this equipment? In the region, 641 backup power supply sources have already been prepared, 380 of them are used at housing and communal services and social facilities.

The restoration of power grids continues. In the region, new network sections are being connected, which will improve electricity supply to settlements. Where exactly such work is being carried out has not yet been disclosed for security reasons.

The head of the region noted that the authorities know where the most severe problems with electricity, water and communications are, and keep them under special control. The capabilities of networks and substations are limited, the load on power engineers is huge, so the recovery is gradual, site by site.

The priority is the areas with the longest shutdowns. As substations and lines are repaired, network capabilities will expand and power supply will become more sustainable.
