Deputy Prime Minister of the PMR and Minister of Economic Development Sergei Obolonik, reported to the Head of State on the energy supply to Pridnestrovians. According to him, the situation is normal. Gas supplies from January 1 to January 11, 2026, were provided without accidents or incidents in the distribution and transmission networks. Consumption is 3.5-3.8 million cubic meters per day. Meanwhile, the energy-intensive production of the Rybnitsa Cement Plant has been suspended, and the Moldavian Metallurgical Plant is operating only in rolling mode (without steel smelting), which helps balance the power grid.
Daily electricity consumption during the extended holiday period averaged 117 megawatts. Emergencies did occur, but were quickly resolved, according to Sergei Obolonik. He listed the power outages, naming the following settlements: Kopanka, Kremenchuk, Malaeshty, Gidirim, Krasnenkoye, Dmitrievka, Ivanovka, and Plot. 46 outages were recorded on 0.4 kW networks, affecting 559 customers during the reporting period.
Regarding heating, the heat was suspended in educational institutions and administrative buildings during the holidays. 77 boiler rooms were shut down. This measure saved 800000 cubic meters of gas. The heating system was restarted last Friday. Currently, not all school buildings have reached the optimal temperature, so lessons have been shortened to 30 minutes if necessary. Decisions are made locally. Taking into consideration the colder weather, the temperature of heating water supplied to apartments has been increased by 3 degrees.
20 outages occurred over 11 days in the water supply sector. These are standard indicators.
