Power Transmission Line "Kavkasioni" Shut Down Due to Emergency
On April 19 of this year at 11:08, the 500 kV power transmission line "Kavkasioni" was shut down due to an emergency. According to preliminary data, the cause of the damage to the power transmission line was a fire. As a result of the power line disconnection, electrical parameters in the power system were disrupted, and the Enguri Hydroelectric Power Plant and other large and small power stations were shut down. Due to the shutdown of generation facilities, at 11:15, approximately 90% of consumers in almost all regions of Georgia experienced power supply interruptions. The Georgian State Electrosystem responded immediately, and within a very short time - 35 minutes - they managed to fully restore power supply to the distribution companies of the electrical power system.
