  • The infrastructure will take years to rebuild;

  • demand in winter will be consistently higher than available generation;

«It's time to get used to generators»

Ignatiev emphasised that citizens and businesses should prepare in advance for scenarios without electricity, generators, battery stations, inverters and alternative sources will become the norm for a long time to come.

He advised:

  • install backup power supplies;

  • switch to energy-efficient appliances;

  • make plans for long-term power outages;

  • prepare for winters without stable heating.

Why the situation will remain challenging

The expert stressed that due to Russia's targeted strikes on critical infrastructure, the restoration of the entire system may take time 5-10 years, depending on the scale of investment and the pace of reconstruction.
