Electricity supply in Simferopol and surrounding villages has been fully restored after a disruption, according to Krymenergo. The latest update from the regional energy operator indicates that technicians and engineers worked through the day to bring back power to homes and businesses, ensuring the grid returned to stable operation for the majority of subscribers in the city and the broader Simferopol district. This restoration follows a period of reduced service that affected customer loads and prompted coordination between energy facilities and municipal authorities. [Krymenergo press release]
The company confirmed that Crimean electrical engineers successfully re-established power delivery to consumers, emphasizing that the interruption was a fault on the distribution network rather than a long-term deficit in supply. They noted that the incident involved a technological disruption impacting a portion of the network serving Simferopol and nearby settlements, and that corrective actions were implemented promptly to minimize downtime for residents and critical services.

Officials clarified that the energy supply to subscribers in Simferopol and the Simferopol region experienced a partial outage caused by a fault in a 110 kV transmission line, which led to a temporary disconnect of a portion of the load about 42 MW. As crews diagnosed the issue, power restoration proceeded in stages to protect equipment and maintain system reliability across the regional grid. The focus remained on restoring full service while ensuring safety and preventing further disturbances. [Krymenergo press release]
