On October 14th, under rainy weather conditions, an accident occurred at a high-voltage electric device in Tashkent city. The press service of "Tashkent City Power Networks" reported this.

According to the report, at 16:06 due to unfavorable weather, rain, and breaking of tree branches, a short circuit occurred in the 110 kW high-voltage aerial power transmission line between poles 45 and 46. As a result, there was a brief disruption in the power supply.

The damaged device, which observed the accident, is supplied by the Vodil-1 network, originating from the "Lafarge" and "Salarskaya" substations (in turn, providing power to the territories of Mirzo Ulugbek, partially Yashnobod and Mirabad districts), the report states.

The company's high-voltage lines operation service fully eliminated the malfunction by 17:05, after which the electricity was restored.
