- Given the announced storm warning and expected adverse weather conditions across the country, energy workers are increasing control over the operation of energy facilities. The press service of the Ministry of Energy reports on the implementation of such measures.

According to data from Kyrgyzhydromet, a sharp deterioration in weather is expected in Kyrgyzstan on January 16 and 17: snow precipitation is possible, locally intense, as well as wet snow sticking to wires and trees. Fog, icy conditions on roads, and snow drifts in mountainous areas are forecasted. The western wind may strengthen to 15-20 m/s.

To prevent and eliminate potential emergency situations, a reserve of emergency repair equipment has been prepared, and operational response plans have been developed.

All repair crews, transport, and special equipment have been put on high alert.

As part of the measures, continuous monitoring of the current operational situation is being conducted, and schedules for round-the-clock duty of the relevant services have been developed.

A drop in air temperature will lead to an increase in electricity consumption, which, according to warnings from the Ministry of Energy, may create serious loads on electrical network equipment.

The agency strongly urged consumers to conserve energy and recommends not to turn on several powerful electrical appliances at the same time.
