The center of Vladikavkaz for the whole day was left without light

Almost the entire central part of Vladikavkaz on Saturday was left without electricity. The reason for the failure was a short circuit at the central distribution point, ITAR-TASS was told in the press service of the Vladikavkaz City Hall.

The accident occurred in the morning at the transformer substation located in the city center. As a result, two transformers, 13 Federov and 73 substations failed along the chain. Most of the center of the North Ossetian capital for the whole day was left without electricity.

The head of North Ossetia, Taimuraz Mamsurov, and the mayor of Vladikavkaz Sergey Dzantiev, visited the scene of the accident during the accident.

"The probability of sabotage is completely excluded, since this is a strictly protected territory. At the moment, 7 repair teams of Vlainergo and the Interregional Distribution Network Company are being eliminated to eliminate the causes of the accident," the press service said.

Recovery work should be completed approximately until 20:00, said Oleg Kolesnikov, chief engineer of VMUP VMUP VMUP.
