Power outage hits 55,000 consumers in Tashkent and Zangiata district

Tashkent and its Zangiata district experienced significant power outages on the evening of June 28, impacting approximately 55,000 consumers. The disruption began at 8:45 PM due to a technical fault in the 110 kV network at the Yuksak substation in Tashkent's Yakkasaray district.

This technical failure led to the shutdown of two gas turbine units at the Tashkent Thermal Power Plant, resulting in a loss of 60 MW of capacity. The affected areas included several districts within Tashkent city, Yakkasaray, Chilanzar, Mirabad, and Uchtepa, as well as the Zangiata district in the Tashkent region. Some small industrial enterprises also temporarily lost power.

The outage represented about 6.2% of Tashkent's total subscribers. Restoration efforts began shortly after the incident, with electricity gradually returning to different areas. Power was fully restored to all affected consumers by 3:56 AM on June 29, according to the Ministry of Energy.
