Tashkent City Electric Network (Toshkent shahar elektr tarmoqlari) finally decided to address a long-standing question among residents: why have they been facing increasingly frequent daytime power outages over the past few weeks? The answer was rather predictable — preparations for the autumn-winter season and equipment repairs.
According to the explanation, the cause of the outages is the modernization of high-voltage equipment at substations such as “Astronomicheskaya,” “Kadyri,” “Vodilt,” and “Sazit,” which supply electricity to the Yakasaray, Mirobod, Yashnobod, Yunusobod, Chilonzor, and Sergeli districts.
Energy officials stated that the outages are a temporary measure aimed at preventing more severe accidents during the winter. The modernization, they say, will help avoid major failures in the autumn-winter period and ensure uninterrupted power supply.
However, many residents have reacted to this news with mixed feelings. “Why couldn’t this work be done at night or in summer when power outages don’t disrupt daily life as much?” such questions appear frequently in the comments.
The energy officials partially addressed this concern. According to them, the work is carried out during the day since energy consumption is comparatively lower than during the evening hours. This helps distribute the load evenly and ensures safe conditions for the work being done.
Let’s hope that this work proves beneficial in winter and brings the much-anticipated stability in power supply during the colder months.
