Quote: "Emergency power outages have left more than 45,000 consumers without electricity, and over 700 buildings have been cut off from the heat supply from several boiler houses. Smaller boiler houses have switched to generators, but I would remind everyone that generators capable of supplying 6 kilovolts simply do not exist."
