On December 23, at TPP-1 in Ulan-Ude, a short circuit occurred with a fire in the power wires in the cable compartment supplying the control panel.

The environmental prosecutor's office organized a check on the fact of the accident.
Later it became known that the specialists restored the power supply to the fuel supply of the power plant in Ulan-Ude.
