Residents of the Dubky modular town in the Irpin community are being asked to use powerful electrical appliances in turn. Because many household appliances have been plugged in without permission, consumption exceeds the capacity of the grid the building was designed for.

This was reported by Oleksandr Pashchynskyi, First Deputy Mayor of Irpin, who toured the community’s modular towns ahead of winter.

I appeal to residents to treat the situation with understanding and to use powerful electrical appliances in turn. This is necessary to avoid emergencies and to ensure a stable power supply for everyone.

Dubky has three generators with a total capacity of 430 kW, which will keep the town running during a long power cut. The possibility of setting up a resilience point in the central building was also discussed.

The Lastivka modular town has six generators with a combined capacity of 600 kW. All of them have been serviced, and the town has been supplied with winter diesel fuel.

Compared with last year, every generator has been fitted with electric heaters. They keep the engine oil and coolant at the right temperature so that the equipment starts reliably even in severe frost.

As a reminder, the modular towns in Bucha and Vorzel are getting solar power stations.
