Power is restored in Iraq after blackout hit central and southern regions on Monday, official says

BAGHDAD: Power has been restored in Iraq after a blackout hit central and southern regions on Monday, Adel Karim, an adviser to the prime minister, told Reuters on Tuesday. “The defect was brought under control and fixed in record time, and the power system is now stable,” Karim said. Iraq was hit by a power outage in its central and southern regions on Monday after a shutdown at a power plant in the western province of Anbar, electricity ministry sources said on Tuesday. The sudden shutdown of the Hamidiya plant led to a fault in the electricity transmission network, the sources said.
