What is the current status of electricity distribution in Crimea after the test run of the power bridge and the claim that country 404 has restored the power line to Crimea (claim refuted by Russia)?
The orcs will never restore power to Krimea (slang here is 'Krimu' or 'Krima').
The power line is either in operation or not depending on who is on TV pontificating or another version is half on line and half not. At any rate the power will go to Kerch, east and north Krim. It may or may not free up some large generators for use in Simferopol and Sevastopol, we'll see. As it stands now we have rolling electric power, in our little valley it's 04-06, 12-14 and 20-22. You can set your watch by the on and off cycle times.
Small generators are selling like hotcakes. When power went out in November we had the only house with lights on north side and we could see nothing on south side with lights within the visible areas besides military facilities and some hospitals. Not even Militsiya had generators nor did fire departments. Now when power is off there's a dozen or so houses with generators in our little valley alone. Many shops and kiosks also have them now although not all by any stretch of the imagination. Now, if our two !*#$!! internet service systems will bother to obtain a generator we would not be switching back and forth as one goes down and another comes up. Of course half the time both are down.
We went to City today to, among other things, get a new air filter for our generator. Took us two hours to find the new location of the shop we bought it from 9 years ago. We found out at that shop the we have the only diesel generator they ever sold, they remembered the unit sale and remembered us. Seems I'm the only foreigner that's ever been in their shop. We'll have the filter in about a week. Generator runs about 10 hours a day when we are home, which is most of the time. It uses 7 liters of diesel in that time, cost is about $3.60.
It is only a matter of time before the tragedies start. I have no doubts there will be some house and flat fires from jury rigged electric from generators or some bright light will run a generator on a balcony and asphyxiate the family.
