Details: For the time being, it is impossible to predict when the entire area's power supply will be restored.

The power engineers are currently unable to provide a reliable electricity supply throughout the city.

Around 40% of households have been reconnected to the power grid. At the same time, 60% of homes had their heating systems repaired, and nearly all of them have running water now.

The city has implemented a schedule of stabilisation outages.
