Half the city is in the dark because the EVN network simply cannot withstand the load
An accident in a substation leaves half of Burgas without electricity for the second hour already. The power supply to the densely populated residential complex “Vazrazhdane”, residential complex “Bratya Miladinovi” and the Central part of the city stopped shortly after 7 p.m.
A few times the network came back on, but for seconds. In some areas, power did come, but tens of thousands are currently in the dark and cold in sub-zero temperatures. According to Sinoptik.bg, the temperature in Burgas tonight is -2, but it feels like -9 degrees.
Half of Burgas is without electricity, EVN does not say when they will turn it on
From EVN they were laconic in front of Flagman.bg: “Colleagues work in the substation. We are not affiliated with them. In an hour or two, they may turn on the electricity in Burgas“.
The problem is also serious in the “Sarafovo” district, where it is dark since 6 p.m. Fixing the crash there can take quite a bit longer. Over 10,000 people live in this neighborhood.
The likely cause of the accident is increased consumption due to the cold weather of the last few days. If so, it means that EVN did not prepare for the winter at all and did not invest in upgrading the infrastructure.
UPDATED AT 21:40:
After 4 hours, electricity came to Sarafovo district. It was the second stoppage of the day, which lasted for a record time in cold temperatures.
UPDATED AT 21:50:
Electricity came to the western part of the railway station “Vazrazhdane”, but it is still dark in the eastern part. EVN claims that they will restore power at any moment. The problem with the damaged substation was resolved, the substations were gradually started up, the company explained.
THIS IS HOW EVN ANNOUNCED THAT THE PROBLEM FOR KV. SARAFOVO HAS BEEN SOLVED FOREVER. DID THEY LIE?
