– The power stations’ generators are running at full capacity and that is not normal in August. Then our power stations usually stand still waiting for the autumn rain, says Jenny Holmberg, press officer at Mälarenergi in a press release.
Current water flow is similar to a spring river, and one difference now in August compared to the spring months is that boats and docks are out in the water with more activity. Meter energy therefore calls for caution and extra vigilance.
– It is important to follow the weather forecasts, to be aware that it can flow heavily in some places, says Jenny Holmberg.
The water can bring fallen trees with it and there can also be erosion risks when the ground is as waterlogged as it is at present. At present, there is no reason for concern for the facilities according to Mälarenergi, as water levels are maintained and as much water as possible is received.
