In Voronezh 18 SNT suddenly left without light

In Voronezh, on the afternoon of November 9, 18 garden associations in the Near and Far Gardens remained without electricity. The power supply stopped around 14:30, and by evening the lights had not returned - people have been without it for more than five hours.

According to the emergency service, there was an accident on the underground cable line. Experts determine the exact location of the damage. The service did not rule out that the troubleshooting will take longer than usual.

Residents began buying gasoline for generators. Restrictions on the sale of fuel in canisters have already been lifted at some petrol stations.

The situation is associated with severe wear of networks: last winter, the load due to electric heaters exceeded the limit by 3-4 times, and the lines were laid in the 1950s. More than 15 million rubles are needed to replace 2.2 km of cable; the costs were proposed to be divided between the SNT. Of the 18 partnerships, 11 agreed to participate. Work has already begun, they are scheduled to be completed by the end of December. Those who do not participate in the payment may be limited power.
