More than 250 houses near St. Petersburg were left without heat in the frost

More than 200 houses in the Lomonosov and Vsevolozhsky districts of the Leningrad Region were left without electricity and water during the abnormal frosts. This is reported by Sever.Realii with reference to local residents.

“For the second day, we have no heat, not everyone has generators or stoves. They promised to fix it the same day, then the next day they announced what they had done. But there is no water or heat at home. Outside the window -25 – for our region this is very it’s cold, one might say, abnormal,” said Lyudmila from the village of Innolova.

The press service of “Lenenergo” stated that “at 12:00 p.m. on January 3, the violation on the network was eliminated.” Residents of the area deny it.

“There is no electricity in our “Izumrudny Gorod” horticulture and in the neighboring “Privilegia”. In the horticulture “Nika”, “Royka” and in the village of Kerro, too,” local residents reported on social networks. They claim that at least 250 houses were left without heat and water due to the accident.

The government of the Leno Oblast reported that “Lenenergo is proposing to separate the substations and lines supplying populated areas of the Leno Oblast from SNT and DNP in order to ensure the reliability of electricity supply for permanent residents.” When the electricity supply will be restored to the residents, they have not been informed. At the same time, the authorities blamed the residents themselves for the accident, saying that the “exciting use” of networks led to the breakdown of transformers and accidents.

It is noted that on the night of January 3 to 4, the air temperature in the Russian capital dropped to minus 27 degrees Celsius.
