JAKARTA - Power has been restored in most parts of Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, after the city of 10 million people went without electricity for more than nine hours due to technical issues, state power company PLN said on Sunday .
At a news conference earlier on Sunday, Cahyani said it would take a few more hours to restore power to West Java and Banten provinces. Another PLN official said two out of three circuits had gone down, triggering “cascading voltage” that caused outages as the west system collapsed. Due to the blackout, the mass rapid transit system in Jakarta had to evacuate passengers from trains.
But at train stations, hundreds of passengers were left stranded after commuter lines stopped working. The power outage also disrupted some cellular phone networks and provider Telkomsel said it was compiling an inventory of the number of devices affected by the power cut. The blackout also caused traffic lights to go out in some areas of the capital, creating traffic jams.
It didn't go completely normal at the airport though.
