Half of Tirana in the dark, including the QSUT, OST reacts: We identified the

This evening, at around 20:30, the 110 kV line "Tirana 1 - Tractor Plant" of the Transmission System Operator (OST) was disconnected. The OST brigades immediately identified the defect on pole 48/4, caused by an open arc.

Meanwhile, the Traktora substation and important consumers were supplied with electricity with limited load, in cooperation with OSHEE, through the 110 kV "Elbasan - Ibë - Farkë" line.

Immediately after identifying the fault, field line brigades took measures to repair it. In parallel, Distribution System Operator teams maneuvered the backup lines through ring schemes, in order to minimize the impact on consumers.

Institutions of particular importance were supplied with electricity within a few minutes, while in some other areas the supply was restored within about 30 minutes.

At 22:09, the repair of the defect was completed and the line was restored to service, guaranteeing full electricity supply to all consumers.
