Electricity supply in Kazakhstan has been fully restored along the Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company (KEGOC) network, the country's Ministry of Energy announced. As reported, regional electricity supply companies are currently reconnecting individual consumers in stages, and electricity supply is expected to be fully restored in the near future. "At the same time, information circulated in some public groups claiming that power outages in Uzbekistan were caused by an accident in Kazakhstan's power system is not true," the ministry said.
Earlier today, power supply disruptions were reported in several regions of Kazakhstan, particularly in Almaty and Almaty region. KEGOC reported that at 2:37 p.m. local time on August 14, a technological disturbance occurred in Kazakhstan's Unified Power System, resulting in the disconnection of the 500-kV Agadyr-Ulken L-5300 and L-5320 power lines, as well as the Aktogay-Taldykorgan L-5400 line. As a result, the southern zone of Kazakhstan's Unified Power System and the Central Asian Unified Power System switched to isolated operation.
According to preliminary operational data, the disturbance was caused by a sudden increase in power flow from the Central Asian power system. As a result, electricity supply restrictions for consumers in Kazakhstan amounted to approximately 2,810 MW. Source: https://www.trend.az/casia/kazakhstan/4215179.html © 2026 Trend News Agency.
