What is the actual reason for countrywide blackouts in Pakistan?
About 1.5 weeks ago, Pakistan suffered from a countrywide outage too, which took hours to return everywhere. As stated by Pakistan’s Energy Minister named Omar Ayub on Sunday, “The system is stable now and electricity supply has been restored in major cities of the country.”
The blackout was reported in all major urban centers in the country including Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Multan.
It was said in a press the next day by Ayub that the blackout started from 11:41 PM on Saturday. But the reason declared was a technical fault at the Guddu power plant. It was due to an immediate drop in the frequency of the transmission power system. The range of drop was from 50 to 0 in less than a second.

As explained by Ayub, “It had what we call a ‘cascading effect’ and shut down the power system, choking about 10,320 megawatts of electricity.” Besides, he added that a team is working to restart the Tarbela power station. This start of the power station would conduct a sequential refurbishment of power in the rest of the country.
Although the exact cause of the outage is still under investigation, and energy ministry spoke on the matter too. He said, “Our teams are still working in the Guddu area to investigate the reasons that caused the fault, but heavy fog is making their job difficult.”
What is the cause of blackout in Iran too?
Cities across Iran too suffered from massive blackout under economic pressure and going through the region’s worst coronavirus outbreak. The major reason suspected by the Iranian police was illegal Bitcoin mining.
Reported by the Iranian police the power-heavy cryptocurrency mining and lack of natural gas was the reason suspected. Declared by the official, Press TV reported, “The total reduced consumption corresponds to the (electricity) use for a city with a population of over half a million.”
Ziya Sadr denied the point and said, “The miners have nothing to do with the blackouts. Mining is a very small percentage of the overall electricity capacity in Iran.” Besides, he added, “it is a known fact that the mismanagement and the very terrible situation of the electricity grid in Iran and the outdated equipment of power plants in Iran can’t support the grid.”
