Points of attention
- Serious problems in the Ukrainian power system led to a voltage drop on the Isaccea-Vulcanesti-MDRES high-voltage line, causing a blackout in several cities in Moldova, including Chisinau.
- Moldelectrica, the electricity transmission system operator, is actively working to resolve the situation, with power supply already restored in some affected settlements.
Chisinau and a number of cities in Moldova were left without electricity
An incident on the Isaccea-Vulcanesti-MDRES high-voltage line caused damage and a power outage.
The electricity transmission system operator Moldelectrica is working to resolve the situation, and power supply has already been restored in some settlements.
According to NewsMaker, at least Chisinau and its suburbs, as well as Taraclia, Cahul, and Anenii Noi, were affected.
Note that this became known at the same time as the information that in Kyiv, train traffic and escalators were suspended due to a power outage from external power supply centers in the metro.
Energy Minister Dorin Zhungietu assured that electricity supply will be restored in an hour, two at most. He reported that due to the loss of part of the power transmission lines in Ukraine, an automatic protection system was triggered, which led to a partial power outage in the Republic of Moldova.
This led to a decrease in the frequency in the national power system of Moldova to 48 Hz, which triggered the activation of the automatic protection system of electrical networks and a partial blackout in the country.
