Residents of Pinezhsky District and part of Kholmogorsky District are again without electricity. An accident occurred on a power line on the section between Lukovetsky and Siya.

«Three crews have been dispatched to search for the break point. The approximate restoration time is after 12 p.m.,» the administration of Pinezhsky District said.

Boiler houses are operating on diesel generators.

For consumers, a free 24-hour hotline phone number is available: 8-800-220-0-220 (short number for mobile phones — 220).

At the end of December, an accident also left Pinezhsky and part of Kholmogorsky District without electricity. The cause of the outages was heavy snowfalls that have not ceased in various parts of Pomorye. According to the governor, the Arkhangelsk branch of «Rosseti Severo-Zapad» has been operating in a state of high alert for several days. More than 2,000 kilometers of power lines were damaged.

On the morning of December 19, residents of houses in the city center suddenly lost electricity after a 10 kV cable line was shut off. In the evening, it was restored. Residents of the villages of Bobrovo, Khorkovo, and Novinki also complained about power issues — according to them, electricity has been going out for several days.

Similar mass outages occurred in the city on December 14. At that time, residents of Voskresenskaya, Karla Libknekhta, Lenin Square, as well as Galushina and Leningradsky Prospekt faced inconveniences.

In Murmansk and Severomorsk, a mass blackout has been ongoing for a day. Due to the collapse of five power line supports, the cities were left without electricity.
