Basra A source in the Electricity of the South announced that an emergency technical defect occurred in the national electricity network, which led to the complete blackout of electricity in the southern governorates.
The source stated that the high temperatures caused an increase in the loads on the national grid, which led to the separation of the power stations from work in the southern region.
He added that work is underway to fix the defect to restore the power supply.
