MES: No emergency reported due to outage
No emergency has been reported in Armenia due the large-scale outage, Aysor.am was informed by an employee of the press service of Armenian Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES).
“No reports about emergencies have been received so far,” he said.
The power cut in Yerevan and several regions of Armenia was due to activation of a protective relay system, MES said.
“Deputy Minister of Energy Levon Shahverdian said a protective relay system went off, following which the power supply was cut off. Experts are trying to determine the cause of the system’s activation,” a MES employee said.
