“Most recently, at 6 pm According to the data, there are about 21 thousand people in Lithuania without electricity. homes, ”Paulius Kalmantas, representative of the Energy Distribution Operator (ESO), told BNS.
Most of the failures in the distribution network continue to occur in the Alytus and Vilnius regions.
In the Alytus region, about 7.7 thousand people are without electricity. households, around 8.5 thousand in Vilnius, around 1.5 thousand in Utena and around 3.4 thousand in Kaunas.
On the night and day of January 26, wet snow accumulated on the trees, which cannot bear the weight of the snow and break on the overhead power lines of ESO’s distribution network.
Faults are continually rectified: ESO specialists are working at full capacity to restore power as quickly as possible. There are currently more than 130 ESO brigades and contractors working to fix power outages.
However, despite all efforts, it will take time to restore power, and some faults can take more than a day to repair.
“We emphasize that due to extremely difficult weather conditions, some faults are difficult to reach. Also, after troubleshooting, new ones are formed. There is still a high probability that the branches will fall again and the overhead lines of the distribution network will be cut in the same place.
In case of power failure, we recommend recording the failure on a special form, which can be found at: https://bit.ly/3sUyp62.
We remind you that the cause of power outages is wet snow clothing that keeps falling, which accumulates on the trees. Unable to support the weight of snow, trees or their branches break and turn on the overhead power lines of the distribution network, ”the report says.
