Power was successfully restored to residents in Bogorodsk and Pavlovsk districts following a power outage.
In the Nizhny Novgorod region, power supply to customers and socially significant facilities is operating normally, following a power outage that was caused by a power line break due to external equipment.
The incident occurred on July 31, 2025, affecting the districts of Bogorodskoye and Pavlovskoe. Five "Nizhnovenergo" crews with 21 specialists were involved in restoring power. According to the company's press service, engineers quickly rerouted customers to backup schemes to minimise disruption.
The power outage was reported by "Nizhnovenergo's" press service, and the official website for customer service is available at mrsk-1.ru/customers/customer-service/power-outage. The company's online services can also be used to report a power outage or inquire about restoration times.
As of now, the exact cause of the power line break remains unknown, but the engineers are in constant contact with regional emergency services, emergency dispatch services, executive authorities of the region, and municipalities to ensure a prompt resolution.
Given the context of ongoing cyber disruptions impacting infrastructure, restoration timelines may be uncertain and are likely managed by utility and government agencies directly involved. If you require further information, such as emergency contact numbers or official websites for the power company in Nizhny Novgorod, please let me know.
Residents experiencing power outages are advised to report them to the local electric utility company emergency service. Utilities usually have hotlines or online portals for outage reports and status updates. Information may also be available via regional government or emergency management websites. In this case, checking the official website of the Nizhny Novgorod regional electricity provider (such as "NN Electroset" or "TNS Energo Nizhny Novgorod") for emergency contacts is recommended.
Additionally, using local government portals or official social media for current updates, or calling general emergency or local municipal offices for guidance, can provide valuable information during power outages. The "Bright Line 220" hotline (8-800-220-0-220 or short number - 220) is a free, 24/7 service that residents can use for outage reports and inquiries.

In the ongoing investigation of the power outage incident in the Nizhny Novgorod region, collaboration among various sectors, including the energy industry and finance, could prove crucial in identifying the root cause and ensuring robust recovery efforts. As the power outage's suspected origin might stem from cyber disruptions, the finance sector may play an integral role in funding necessary upgrades and reinforcements for the region's electrical infrastructures.
