Makhachkala, Kaspiysk and Buinaksk were partially left without electricity due to the wind, Mash Gor reports.
“Dagestan blows at night, the speed of the gusts in some places reaches 29 m/s. The traffic lights on the streets do not work, the gazebos and pieces of roofs fly away. A storm warning has been announced in the republic and electrical engineers are working in special mode. “Locals complain about taxis: they take a long time and are very expensive.” – says the message.
The authorities clarify that due to a break in the 110 kV Makhachkala – Kaspiyskaya CHPP I overhead line with taps at substation 330 Makhachkala, a partial blackout occurred in the city of Kaspiysk and the suburbs of Makhachkala.
Previously, due to strong winds and a large number of emergency stops, Dagenergo switched to a special operating mode.
