Tbilisi, Georgia, Nov. 24

By Nana Kirtzkhalia - Trend:

The whole Georgia was de-energized during three hours on Nov.24, the Georgian State Electric System told Trend.

The cause of a large-scale accident at the power grid was an emergency stop of Gardabani power plant.

As a result, the entire eastern Georgia, including Tbilisi, as well as some areas of western Georgia, was left without electricity.

The experts are working on determining the reasons for the power plant's shutdown. In the meantime, the country is being supplied with alternative source of electricity.
