Azerbaijan’s First Deputy Prime Minister Yagub Eyyubov and President of Azerenerji OJSC Etibar Pirverdiyev have visited the Mingachevir Thermal Power Station, spokesperson of Azerenerji Yahya Babanli has told AZERTAC.

The First Deputy PM gave relevant instructions towards the elimination of consequences of the accident, he said.

The voltage transformer of a substation of Mingachevir Thermal Power Station broke on the night of July 2 to 3 due to the excessive use of electricity by the population caused by an abrupt change in weather conditions and increase in temperature to a high limit, as a result of which the electricity supply to Baku as well as the most regions of the country was interrupted.
