The electricity situation is worst in Parainen, Kuopio and Lapinlahti. The cause of mass blackouts is called falling under the weight of wet snow trees and branches on the power line. The historic province of Savo was particularly affected.
In the morning, there were more than 8.3 thousand consumers without electricity across the country, in Savo - more than 3.9 thousand. Power engineers prepared repair crews in advance, but the ongoing snowfall complicated the work.
Bad weather also affected the roads: only in North Savo rescuers received more than 20 calls due to fallen trees, there were 15 accidents. Outages affected even the ski resort of Tahko – there could not launch a new chairlift, opened a day earlier.
