The Electricity Ministry said the power cuts on Tuesday were due to a high consumption and a shortage of gas supply, adding that the deficit was 1350 megawatts compared to 575 megawatts on Monday evening.
The daily bulletin of the ministry’s control center said the maximum load expected on Wednesday is 22,900 megawatts, and asked citizens to rationalize consumption in order to avoid cuts.
