"Nizhny Energo reinstating power for certain Arzamas residents following an outage"
In the Nizhny Novgorod region, energy workers from the Rosseti Center and Volga's "Nizhnevenergo" branch have been put on high alert, working tirelessly to restore power following adverse weather conditions on August 2, 2025.
The region experienced thunderstorms, heavy rain, and wind gusts up to 17 m/s on that day, but as of now, there is no documented information on a power outage caused by these conditions. However, it's important to note that internet shutdowns in Nizhny Novgorod and other regions in July 2025 were linked to security concerns, but they were not described as power outages or weather-related incidents.
For those experiencing power outages, there are several ways to report the issue. The "Bright Line 220" hotline, a 24/7 service, is available for reporting power outages and receiving information. The short number for easy access is 220, and calls are free. Alternatively, the company's official website provides a service for reporting power outages: www.mrsk-cp.ru/for_consumers/inform_about_disconnect.
Moreover, the "There's Light!" mobile app can also be used for reporting power outages. If broken power lines are found, they should not be approached. Instead, they should be immediately reported to the energy company or MCHS.
The power restoration efforts involve 12 crews, including 4 from neighboring regions, with a total of 52 people and 17 units of special equipment. These teams are working diligently to quickly ensure power supply, including via backup schemes.
In addition, special control is being exercised over the operation of energy facilities, and an operational headquarters has been set up by the branch, maintaining information exchange with local MCHS units and executive authorities.
The company's online services and hotline are also available for receiving restoration information about power outages. In fact, consumers can use these services to find out about restoration times for power outages. Furthermore, the "Bright Line 220" hotline can provide information about restoration times for power outages as well.
Stay informed and safe during this time. If you encounter a power outage, remember to report it through the available channels to aid in the swift restoration of power.
