Electricity supply restoration efforts are ongoing, with 139,000 customers having had their power restored following the peak of outages. However, according to ESO representative Rasa Juodkienė, the overall number of reported disruptions continues to grow as crews work to repair the low voltage network. Juodkienė noted that issues related to low voltage systems tend to present greater complexities during repairs.
The representative clarified that the metric tracking affected clients is not a direct reflection of the population impacted. She explained that an “eso” client refers to a subscriber or household unit, meaning a single reported client can serve multiple residents, thereby underrepresenting the total number of people without electricity. This statement provides context following the major power outage that occurred after a storm on Saturday, which initially affected hundreds of thousands of consumers.
The continuous identification of new disruptions highlights the extensive scope of the damage across the electrical infrastructure. The ongoing assessment indicates that while restoration efforts are systematically addressing the grid, the low voltage infrastructure presents persistent challenges. The utility continues to manage the complex task of bringing services back to full capacity across the affected areas, managing the evolving number of required repairs.
