– Because of the cold, this is a serious situation. Communications manager at the electricity company Lede, Thor Bjørn Omnes, says that the electricity company must now set a red alert due to the power outage affecting over 500 customers in Porsgrunn. – It is the highest preparedness we have, and all resources are called in, says Omnes. The reason must be that some cables have broken. Then the electricity company got another error, and then the spare cables also broke. – Some may risk not having electricity until tomorrow morning. – Can this be prolonged? – Yes, since it is as cold as it is now, it can be long-lasting, says Omnes.

Now, within a few hours, a number of units will be sent out to the affected areas, and Lede will work in parallel with other solutions. Unfortunately, there is no quick solution to this, concludes communications manager at Lede, Thor Bjørn Omnes.
