Since the damage of a 220 kV Kakhovka-Tytan power line, two districts were supplied by the backup scheme, which has been failing repeatedly, especially in the last week, the press service of the Kherson Regional State Administration reports.

The reconnection of the line is the first step toward the return of the normal functioning of the Kakhovka substation, on which the power supply to a large part of Kherson and Mykolaiv regions depends.
