“The situation is especially complicated by the fact that the falling snow is wet and the large amount of snow. We note that repair work is also hampered by the fact that in some places the equipment does not simply go through the snow until it fails. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the snow does not stop, even after a full day of work, there are interruptions in the forests on the same line again, ”ESO reported.
The highest priority is given to households without electricity for the longest time.
There are about 8,300 households in the Kaunas region, about 7,000 in the Alytus region, about 6,300 in the Panevėžys region. According to ESO, snowfall and fault rates are lower in other regions of the country.
