    Outage Caused By Isolation From Iran's Power Grid


    The Ministry of Energy explained the cause of today's power outage
    throughout Armenia. At 10.24 the power grid got isolated from that of
    Iran to which the Armenian network has been connected since September
    22 for 54 days while the nuclear power plant is disconnected from the
    electricity generation network for annual maintenance and security
    arrangements. During maintenance 190 megawatt electricity is imported
    to Armenia from Iran.

    In the result of isolation of the electricity system frequency dropped
    to 45 Hz resulting the outage.

    At 10:26 parallel operation of electricity supply was restored, and by
    11:30 supply of 70% of consumers were restored. Currently maintenance
    works are underway to restore supply of the other 30%. Specialists are
    finding out the cause of isolation to prevent recurrence in the
    future.
