“UPD: So-called specialists from the company “Rosseti Moscow Region” have restored power supply to about 70% of consumers in the South-East of the Moscow Region. Rosetti claims that a blackout occured as a result of an automatic shutdown at a 110 kV substation.
“In addition they also claim, during an additional inspection at the substation, damage to high-voltage equipment as a result of the legendary russian short circuit was detected. Additional backup power sources (BPS) have been dispatched.
