At Stiklestad in Verdal, it is not only easy to run a hotel on Saturday evenings. That’s what receptionist Tor Ivar Holmli says. There they have been without electricity for 4.5 hours when news talks to them at 8.20pm. Now it’s getting a little cold. – We hope the power comes on soon, but we keep warm with lots of candles. Had to cancel concert The festival “Midwinterdansen” is being held this weekend, and it was intended that they should have a concert with the Trondheim soloists tonight. This was canceled due to the power shortage. – But the guests take it very well. A group of violinists are sitting around the fireplace playing. So the situation is a bit exciting and different, says Holmli. The restaurant in the hotel is also not doing so well, so food is a bit limited. – We have what was made in advance then – some waffles and wraps, says the receptionist. May be without electricity until tomorrow morning Tensio, which supplies Trøndelag with electricity, says people must be prepared for new power outages. At 4 p.m., around 15,000 people in Trønder were without power, according to the electricity company. At 20:00 they report in a press release that approximately 5,000 customers are without electricity. They will work on correcting errors throughout the night, but due to the darkness and the fact that it is happening in demanding terrain, there will be a good number of errors that they will only be able to look at in the morning. Those who remain without power throughout the evening must therefore be prepared for the possibility that the power will be out until well into the morning. In addition, the weather conditions in many places are still such that we expect new faults to appear throughout the evening and night, says the press release.
