“One could find out what happened, either from the effects of a snowstorm or some other cause. The pillars unrolled in Panemunė, on Vaidilos street,” readers asked the news portal Wednesday morning.
As you can see in the Kaunas video, the electric poles are on the sidewalk, four of them, according to the woman. The electricity on Vaidilos Street disappeared into the street around 9 o’clock. In the morning, specialists from the Energy Distribution Operator (ESO) immediately gathered here. According to readers, even the inhabitants of several streets do not have electricity in Panemunė.
January 27 8 pm According to ESO data, due to the heavy wet snow in the Kaunas region without electricity, there are about 8.3 thousand. homes.
As Paulius Kalmantas, ESO’s public relations project manager, told the news portal “What’s Happening in Kaunas”, the exact reason for the collapse of the power poles on Vaidilos Street is unclear.
“The power lines themselves are not afraid of snow and the poles do not break from the weight of the snow, the branches of the trees break and fall on the power line cables, causing a power failure or the post collapse, “explained P. Kalmantas.
Mr. Kalmant admits that the situation is especially difficult due to the fact that the falling snow is wet and the amount of snow is extremely high. “We emphasize that repair work is hampered by the fact that in some places the equipment just doesn’t race 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 again interruptions in the forests on the same lines.
Faults are cleared across Lithuania in the morning: ESO specialists are working at full capacity to restore electricity supply as quickly as possible. Almost every possible capability has been connected, with additional forces from other regions where there are no or far fewer failures – around 250 brigades are working to clean up the snow damage this morning.
However, despite all efforts, the recovery of electricity will take time. The highest priority is for those residents who have been without power for the longest time.
“We observe that the complexity of the supply line and failure may differ for different customers. This is one of the reasons why we restore electricity to some residents of the same settlement faster than others,” said P. Kalmantas in the report.
In the event of a power outage, it is recommended that consumers record the failure on a special form or by logging into ESO self-service.
