It took ten days to restore power supply in Kuban.

Power supply, disrupted on December 31st due to bad weather, has been restored in all settlements of Kuban, the regional task force reported.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", large-scale power outages occurred in Krasnodar Krai and Adygea on December 31st, leaving tens of thousands of people without power. In Kuban, authorities accused the utility company "Akton" of delaying repairs. By the evening of January 4th, more than 18,000 people remained without power in Krasnodar Krai. Authorities in Adygea reported on the evening of January 6th that power had been restored to almost all subscribers.

Power supply to settlements in the Krasnodar Krai, disrupted on December 31 due to wet snow sticking to power lines, was fully restored only on January 9, according to the regional task force.

According to authorities, power workers have been restoring power to remote settlements in the Apsheronsky District for the "last few days." There, "power lines leading to the settlements were damaged in hard-to-reach areas," according to a message on the task force's official Telegram channel.

Massive outages on December 31 affected 108,000 residents of Kuban in 113 settlements across eight districts – Mostovsky, Kurganinsky, Gulkevichi, Kavkazsky, Novokubansky, Belorechensky, and Apsheronsky – as well as the Tuapse Municipal District. According to officials, power was restored in most cases within the first two days.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that from December 31 to January 3, trains in Kuban were experiencing hours-long delays. New Year's Eve was celebrated in the cold and with broken toilets. Not everyone received the promised meals, and passengers had to wait more than a day for the train to depart, as passengers complained on social media. By the evening of January 2, trains in Russia's regions were still experiencing hours-long delays, and passengers continued to complain about food and water shortages.
