No electricity delivered to Crimea due to fallen pylon carrying Kakhovka-Titan power line

Ukraine's Kakhovka-Titan electric power line was disconnected from Crimean peninsula following falling of the pylon carrying the transmission power line.

"During a regular beat nearly at midnight, a fallen pylon was found. In the dark it was impossible to carry a detailed examination. That's why a character of the damage will be discovered when it is already light. A request for repairs will be submitted. And depending on these measures to avoid the damage will be taken: maintenance or replacement of the pylon," Ukrenergo information policy department's chief said on air with 112 TV channel.

He said the pylon carrying Kakhovka-Titan power transmission line fell 20 kilometers from Kakhovka.

As reported, on Wednesday evening Kakhovka-Titan power line was disconnected as a result of the abrasion of protection relay system. An attempt to switch it on was in vain.

No electricity was delivered to Crimea from Ukraine as of Wednesday evening. Rolling blackout schedules are expected to be introduced in Crimea and Sevastopol, said Sevastopol mayor's secretary Kiril Moskalenko.
