The accident on Taman de-energized for a few hours the peninsula. Own electricity generation in Crimea is not enough even for 10-15% of the region's needs.
In the northern regions of the Crimea, a state of emergency was introduced in connection with the drought. Ukrainian activists gloated about Kiev's North Crimean channel, the Crimean officials persistently refuse to recognize the importance of this channel for agriculture in the steppe part of the peninsula.
The state holding will not work on the peninsula, and local networks will be given to the Federal Property Agency.
