“Chernomorenergo” executive director: Abkhazia stops receiving electricity from Russia and fully switches to Enguri HPP generation - rise in water level in the reservoir fully covers Abkhazia’s needs

In occupied Abkhazia, electricity supply from Russia has stopped as of today, and the region has completely switched to electricity generated by the Enguri Hydroelectric Power Plant (Enguri HPP).

Temur Jinjolia, Executive Director of “Chernomorenergo”, told Russian media yesterday that starting from March 31, at 00:00 Moscow time, the sending of electricity from Russia - which had been necessary due to the winter energy deficit - would be halted.

“On March 31, at 00:00 Moscow time, Abkhazia is stopping the receipt of electricity from the Russian Federation and is fully switching to the generation of the Enguri HPP. The increase in water flow and the rise in the water level in the Jvari Reservoir fully covers Abkhazia’s needs,” stated Jinjolia.
