Bulgarian power utility EVN has announced restrictions of the electricity supply for the region north of the Black Sea city of Burgas.

EVN says that the Central Dispatcher Unit of the Electricity System Operator (ESO), a state company monitoring power supply, ordered the power cut effective as of 7 pm on Saturday.

The privately-owned power utility has obeyed the order of the state company, and has focused its efforts on keeping the electricity cut for the region of the largest Bulgarian Black Sea resort Sunny Beach as brief as possible, similar to the situation on Friday when ESO issued the same order for the region north of Burgas.

The power supply to the Sunny Beach area will be restored by EVN with a new order of ESO.

The EVN announcement about a power cut comes just hours after the state-owned National Electric Company NEK denied the introduction of officially scheduled electricity supply restrictions, and urged hotel owners and tourists in the region to reduce the extreme power consumption voluntarily.
