In Transnistria, a separatist region of Moldova, the shortage of electricity is about 30%, and due to overloading of the power system there is a risk of its complete failure. This was announced by the State Secretary of the Ministry of Energy of Moldova, Kostiantyn Borosan, writes NewsMaker. Yes, the maximum load in unrecognized Transnistria is 219 MW, but the maximum production of the Moldovan DRES and Dubossar HPP (under the control of Transnistria) is only 154 MW – a deficit of 65 MW or 30 %. “Management of this shortage of electricity on the Left Bank of the Dniester is carried out by disconnecting consumers, street lighting, water supply systems, industrial zones, agricultural processing plants, etc. If not enough consumers are disconnected, there is a risk of a complete system failure, since the distribution networks on the Left Bank are overloaded “, Borosan warned.
