Kryminform informs about this with reference to the press service of the state-owned enterprise "Krymenergo".
“Against the background of the rise in temperature on the peninsula, the consumption of electric energy has increased, reaching the value of 1266 MW on July 17,” the message says.
As specified, the reason is "the simultaneous use by consumers of power-hungry devices with constant operation of cooling units, air conditioners and fans."
The load increased most in Feodosia, Evpatoria, Yalta, Saki and Simferopol.
Earlier, the portal "Yuga.ru" reported that the Hydrometeorological Center predicts dangerous heat in Krasnodar on July 19 with daytime temperatures up to + 39 ° С, along the edge - up to + 40 ° С.
