Via: AFP:
Power was mostly restored in Jakarta and Indonesia’s heavily
populated Java island after a widespread electricity outage Sunday that
the state utility PLN blamed on disruptions at several power plants.
Tens of millions of people were affected by the blackout which
plunged buildings in the sprawling capital — home to about 30 million
people — into darkness and forced the temporary closure of its new mass
rapid transit system.
Passengers were safely evacuated from several MRT carriages when the
power went out, according to the system’s operator, while commuter
trains were also affected.
Electricity was restored by around 11:00 pm local time (1600
GMT) in most parts of the capital, nearly 12 hours after disruptions
started. While the megacity has been hit by blackouts before, Sunday’s
shutdown was unusually long.
