Khaidarov, an official of the regional Emergency Situations Department, who participated in the event, said that during the past summer season of 2023, the air temperature in our country was higher than the annual norm, due to which the need to use cooling equipment led to a sharp increase in electricity consumption.

  He also mentioned that the lack of cleaning the territories of settlements and large industrial enterprises from dry vegetation leads to a sharp increase in the number of fires. U.
