"At the moment, boiler number three has been started up, which was a backup, and literally in two or three hours it will give out heat, it will be put into the circuit," the TASS report is quoted as saying.
Previously, to maintain the parameters of the coolant, boiler number two was launched.
The first, second and fifth boilers are in operation.
At night at the TPP-1 in Ulan-Ude, a short circuit occurred with a fire in the power wires in the cable compartment supplying the control panel.
This led to the shutdown of four heating boilers and a turbine generator “in conditions of low ambient temperatures in the city - down to -30 ° C,” the UK said.
The Mayor's Office of Ulan-Ude will distribute more than 500 heating appliances to residents after the accident.
