At most, around 2,000 households were without power in Kalmar County during Saturday.
By Saturday evening, the number had dropped to approximately 1,100 - almost half of which are in the municipality of Oskarshamn.
- Those who have been without power the longest lost it at 01.30 on the night of Saturday, says Björn Persson.
Wet snow and track cars
Sleet combined with wind makes it difficult for the company to arrive and be able to repair the broken lines.
- We worked until it got dark.
Based on safety reasons, we do not work during the night, but start again when it gets light, says Björn Persson.
He also urges the public not to go near downed power lines as they may be live.
- It is associated with danger to life.
During Sunday, Eon will use track carts to get to the broken power lines.
They have also brought in extra staff.
But during Saturday evening, Björn Persson cannot give any forecast for when the power may be back.
- It is also about what the weather is like during the night and in the morning.
The weather services have warned of further snowfall.
Keep your phone charged
What do you want to say to the customers who have been without power since last night?
- We regret what happened and understand that it is difficult.
Björn Persson urges customers without electricity to try to keep their phone charged.
- And how do you do it without electricity?
Hopefully you have a car or the neighbor has a car so you can charge the phone.
