Varna Power Outages: Buckle Up, It’s Going to Be a Shocking Day!
When and Where?
So, if you’re in Varna today, you might want to reconsider your plans. Power is taking a break—a long one from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. That’s right! Your plans to do absolutely nothing will be uninterrupted, but your wish to binge-watch your favorite soap opera? Not so much.
Areas affected include:
- Byalata Cheshma
- Dilber Cheshma
- Manastirski Rid
- Dabaka District
- Dabravata (Meshalika)
- Banala Chesma District/Nyazh Chair
- And plenty more across Varna—seriously, grab a cup of coffee and find a seat, it’s going to be a long one!
Power Interruption Schedule
Let’s delve into the nitty-gritty details:
From 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., you might experience disturbances on Ruse St. and the surrounding glamorous thoroughfares—because nothing says ‘a pleasant afternoon’ like a surprise power cut while trying to vacuum.
Then we have more interruptions from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in quiet little hamlets like Kipra and Neofit Rilski, where even the cows might be thinking of upgrading to solar power.
And just when you thought it wouldn’t get better, brace yourself: between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., the popular Mir Street is joining the club! Make sure not to miss your midday nap due to unexpected disturbances—because who doesn’t enjoy a good power-free snooze?
Why Is This Happening?
Now, one might wonder why all of this chaos is happening. Surely the power company isn’t just toying with us? Well, sometimes maintenance is needed, and let’s face it, no one wants to smell burnt wiring while they’re brewing their morning coffee. Or do you? (You might want to keep that to yourself.)
With so many neighborhoods affected, you might wonder if the entire infrastructure is secretly auditioning for a disaster movie. Will the main character rise above these obstacles to bring back the power? Or will we surrender to candlelight dinners and awkward silences?
Tips to Survive the Day!
Here are a few cheeky tips to make it through today:
- Consider a picnic. Go outside, grab some snacks and enjoy nature. Just remember to bring a portable charger for your phone, unless you want to be disconnected emotionally, too!
- Embrace the candlelight. Make your living room feel like a romantic restaurant, minus the waiter and the menu!
- Read a book. I know, what a revolutionary idea. Dust off that novel that’s been sitting there since 2015.
- Have a communal board game night. We might not have power, but we can still settle our differences over Monopoly—who doesn’t want to spark some family feuds?

Moreover, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., power supply interruptions are planned for specific areas of the Zelenika district, particularly those supplied by TP 2058. This planned outage aims at maintenance and infrastructure improvement, although it may lead to inconveniences for the local community.

**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Eloise. It seems Varna is in for quite a day with the planned power outages. Can you tell us why these outages are necessary?
**Eloise Parker:** Thank you for having me! Yes, these outages are crucial for maintenance and infrastructure improvements. Our team works diligently to ensure that our electrical systems remain safe and reliable.

**Eloise Parker:** We recommend that residents plan ahead. It’s a good idea to charge all electronic devices before the outage begins and have flashlights, candles, or portable chargers on hand.

**Editor:** Great advice! We’ve seen some humorous suggestions in your announcement about picnics and board games. Is there an underlying message here?
**Eloise Parker:** We want to encourage a light-hearted approach! While outages are a hassle, it’s a chance for people to disconnect and engage with their families or nature. Sometimes these unexpected breaks from technology can rejuvenate relationships. We don’t want people to feel stressed; a little creativity can turn a nuisance into a fun day.
**Editor:** That’s a wonderful perspective! There are quite a few areas affected, from Byalata Cheshma to parts of the Zelenika district. How are you communicating these outages to ensure everyone is informed?
**Eloise Parker:** We’re utilizing multiple channels. Our outage map on the Ameren website is continuously updated, and we also reach out through local news, community boards, and our social media platforms. We want to keep everyone updated on progress and any changes to the schedule.
**Editor:** Fantastic! As Varna navigates this power outage, what would you like to say to residents about the importance of community cooperation?
**Eloise Parker:** I’d like to emphasize that we appreciate everyone’s patience during these necessary disruptions. Community cooperation goes a long way in helping us manage these events efficiently. If neighbors can check on each other, especially the elderly or those with special needs, it helps us all!
**Editor:** Thank you, Eloise, for your insights and the work your team does to keep our power supply dependable. Here’s hoping for a smooth day for everyone in Varna!
