Nationwide Blackout and Restoration Efforts
Incident Overview
TBILISI, Aug 6 (Reuters) – Power in Georgia has been completely restored after a nationwide blackout on Wednesday evening, the country’s State Electrosystem said, Russia’s TASS news agency reported.
Major cities, including the capital, Tbilisi, in the South Caucasus country of about 3.7 million people lost electricity at about 8 p.m local time on Wednesday.
Possible Causes and Ongoing Investigations
Georgian news agencies quoted an official from the commission overseeing the country’s power and water utilities, Giorgi Pangani, as saying that the incident had coincided with tests at a hydroelectric power station.
Grid Vulnerabilities and Previous Outages
The tests were being performed to identify weak points in the country’s power grid after two power outages last month, Pangani was cited as saying.
Pangani said the reasons for the latest power cut were being investigated.
