Video of explosion at Luchegorsk State District Power Plant before blackout in Primorsky Krai has appeared
In Primorye, a short circuit at the Luchegorsk State District Power Plant may be the cause of a massive power outage. According to preliminary data, the protection system was triggered and disconnected the 500 kV line.
The moment of the accident at the power plant was captured on video: after the short circuit, a section of the power line exploded. Then, the region went out of power.
The regional government assured that all restoration work would be completed today.
The Nadezhdinsky District and the Khasansky District remain without power supply. In a number of districts, electricity has been partially restored. In Vladivostok itself, over 80% of residents are connected.
