ISLAMABAD – A report on the recent electricity blackout has been submitted to the Power Division which blames human error for massive breakdown.
The National Transmission and Dispatch Company said that the poor maintenance of transmission circuitry caused the nationwide blackout.
It added that on January 09 at 11:41 pm, the 500KV Guddu-Shikarpur transmission line's circuits 1 and 2 tripped. As a result, the 500KV Guddu-Muzaffargarh and Guddu-Dera Ghazi Khan transmission lines also tripped, causing the entire power system to shut down.
Earlier on the midnight of January 10, most parts of the country plunged into darkness, and it took over 24 hours to restore the complete power supply.
