Belgorod Region announces planned power cuts for January 18 maintenance
Five districts in Russia’s Belgorod Region will face planned power cuts on January 18. The outages are scheduled from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM to allow essential maintenance on the local energy grid. Other areas nearby may also see brief disruptions during this time.
The affected areas include Belgorod, Korochansky, Prokhorovsky, Shebekinsky, and Yakovlevsky districts. Authorities have announced the blackouts to improve the stability of the region’s energy supply.
Local officials, led by Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, have been managing ongoing power and heating issues in recent days. These problems follow repeated disruptions caused by external attacks on infrastructure. While no specific organisation has been named for the upcoming maintenance, preparations are underway to handle potential evacuations if needed. Residents have been advised to expect temporary interruptions. The work aims to prevent longer-term failures in the grid’s operation.
The scheduled outages will last until early afternoon on January 18. Nearby regions may experience short, unplanned cuts as well. Officials continue to monitor the situation amid broader challenges to the area’s energy network.
