Estonians buy up power generators after PM warns of energy problems

Estonian residents began buying up power generators after the words of Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who warned citizens about possible problems with electricity, the state broadcasting portal ERR reports.

A store manager at the Bauhof retail chain described Kallas as an excellent salesperson, as more than 100 power generators were sold in one day, more than in the past four months.

It is noted that citizens of the country also began to purchase dry foods, animal feed, personal hygiene items, flashlights and batteries more often.

On September 22, Kallas, on the air of Estonian television, called the citizens to prepare for problems with energy supply. "It is reasonable for everyone to be prepared for possible power outages – both state institutions, companies, and every person," she noted.
