TASS: Russia’s energy ministry reports Crimean consumers get full power supply

The Russian Energy Ministry reported that consumers in Crimea had been getting full power supply as of 07:00 Moscow time on Tuesday, according to Russian news agency TASS.

The ministry said that the 220 kV Kakhovska-Titan-Krasnoperekopsk high-voltage powerline was connected at 01:37 on December 8. The total power generation in Crimea, including power supply from the Russian and Ukrainian grids is 769 megawatts, TASS reported.

The power crossflows from Ukraine's national power company Ukrenergo reached 104 megawatts.

A total of 2,677 reserve power sources with aggregate capacity 272.29 megawatts have been switched on for resuming electricity supply of socially important and infrastructure facilities. The work to connect consumers to electricity supply continues.

Crimea was receiving electricity from Ukraine's Kherson region through four power transmission lines. However, all the powerlines were damaged as a result of actions of Ukrainian radicals on November 22 that disrupted the power supply.
