Recently, anonymous Telegram channels spread information claiming that due to abnormal heat and a sharp increase in electricity consumption in Tashkent, the Ministry of Energy is planning to impose electricity supply restrictions from 11:00 to 17:00. In response, officials stated that this is not true, and there will be no restrictions.
In an official statement, the ministry said that the information disseminated in some Telegram channels is distorted and incorrect.
“We strongly state that there are no plans to cut electricity from 11:00 to 17:00 tomorrow or in the coming days,” emphasized the Ministry of Energy.
Officials noted that the ministry’s message about short-term temporary restrictions for some consumers in Tashkent from 11:00 to 17:00 on July 26 was misinterpreted. The Ministry of Energy clarified that the message only mentioned that in case of an emergency due to overload in any area during the expected heat, short-term shutdowns might be possible to cool down the network or transformer.
“The Ministry of Energy does not plan any outages in any region. In case of an emergency due to overload, short-term shutdowns for cooling the network or transformers might be possible,” explained the ministry.
The ministry also assured that there is currently no shortage in electricity generation. The power system has a reserve capacity of 1300 MW beyond demand.
