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.

Later it became known that Russian President Vladimir Putin would pay attention to the accident at the TPP-1 in Ulan-Ude after a press conference.
