Explaining the blackout, \u00a0Mr.\u00a0Amuna said “there was a surge of power around\u00a09:40 pm\u00a0last night, we lost many generators across the country. As a consequence, we lost supply to most parts of the country.”<\/p>\n

“…We started the restoration programme till about 1 am when we were above 1,000 megawatts but there was a swing in the power system again and we lost some generation but we are in the process of restoring power” he added.<\/p>\n
