Power failed around noon on Sunday after faulty transmission circuits triggered “cascading voltage” that disconnected power plants supplying electricity to the west part of Java island, which includes the capital, PLN said.
Rida Mulyana, director general of electricity at the energy ministry, said 21 million customers were affected by the outage. By midday on Monday, PLN said a number of power plants had been restarted and 23 substations were operating. It did not say how many households and businesses were still without power.PLN spokesman I Made Suprateka told Metro TV on Monday that overgrown trees had made contact with a high-voltage power line and started a fire that triggered the transmission failure.
