Power Outages Incoming: Montenegro Faces Widespread Blackouts on Friday Due to Network Upgrades!
Ready for another day in the dark? On Friday, July 11th, Montenegro is set to experience a wave of planned power outages across multiple municipalities. Yes, you read that right – from Podgorica to Pljevlja, through Cetinje, Nikšić, Ulcinj, and many more towns and villages, electricity will be switched off at various times and locations.
Where and When?
In Podgorica, for example, outages are scheduled from 8:15 AM to 9:15 AM in parts of Donja Gorica, Dajbabe, Botun, and numerous streets and neighborhoods. Danilovgrad, Cetinje, Tuzi, Nikšić, Plužine, Ulcinj, Kotor, Tivat, Herceg Novi, Andrijevica, Berane, Bijelo Polje, Kolašin, Mojkovac, Plav, Pljevlja, Rožaje, and Šavnik will also face outages at different times throughout the day.
Why?
All this is due to planned maintenance work on the electrical network aimed at improving the quality and safety of power supply. Of course, if the weather turns bad, the works will be postponed.
How Long?
Outages will last from half an hour to an hour, sometimes longer, meaning many residents will have to cope without electricity during crucial morning and afternoon hours.
What Does This Mean for You?
Imagine no power in the morning while trying to make breakfast, or in the afternoon while working from home or getting ready to go out. All because of necessary works that will surely cause frustration and inconvenience.
Is This Normal?
Unfortunately, such situations are not uncommon in Montenegro, where the electrical grid often undergoes repairs and upgrades. But could these works be better organized to minimize disruption to daily life? That question remains open.
Conclusion
Friday will be a day when many Montenegrins will be left without power due to planned network maintenance. While the goal is to improve the system, the question remains how practical this method of outages is and how much consideration is given to users’ needs.
If you’re among those affected, maybe it’s time to prepare – charge your phones, gather what you need, and maybe have a laugh about the situation. Or if you have a funny blackout story, share it – everyone loves a good tale about surviving without power!
After all, who hasn’t experienced a power cut at the worst possible moment?
