Luanda - Electricity was restored on Monday night in 11 provinces of the country, after a few hours of blackout in the North and Central Interconnected System, the National Electricity Transmission Network (RNT) said in a statement.
The provinces affected by the blackout were Luanda, Icolo e Bengo, Cuanza-Norte, Cuanza-Sul, Uige, Zaire, Bengo, Malanje, Benguela, Huambo and Bié.
According to the statement, all the affected provinces have been reconnected, with the exception of Estalagem (Viana) in Luanda, which is without electricity due to a specific technical reason that is still being investigated by the technical teams.
RNT adds that the reasons for the "general cut-off" will be clarified shortly.
The National Electricity Transmission Network is the operator of the public electricity system and the manager of the transmission network, within the limits of its legal powers, according to the presidential decree. ASS/DAN/AMP
