#Russia utility “MosEnergosbyt” supplying electricity to Moscow city and Moscow oblast’ (total 22 million people) announced “scheduled interruptions in electricity supply from 14 January to 31 March” that “should not exceed 12 hours” in order to repair the grid. The company later deleted the announcement and declared it “fake” which is a routine tactics when public officials in Russia accidentally say something true.

Is there a cached copy anywhere?
I wonder what this "schedule" looks like. In summer there were weeks when I have experienced power outages every single day and I doubt any of that shit was planned.
I saw electricity switched off in Nalchik or Krasnodar suburbs routinely but didn’t think it also happens in Moscow…

It's not THAT bad in Moscow as I think it is outside of it — it's not like the whole district blacks out, just your block, and it's usually fixed in under an hour, but it isn't uncommon and it's really annoying if you have something more complex than TV running. I'd say having a UPS isn't unreasonable.
I don't think it was that bad a decade ago, it could happen once in a few month — nothing compared to this year.
