According to the press release from the National Electricity Transport Network (RNT), the fault, which occurred at noon on Tuesday, left several areas of Luanda without electricity, and also affected the provinces of Malanje, Bengo, Zaire, Huambo and Bié.
"The aforementioned disturbance resulted from the rupture of a voltage transformer on one of the 220 kV transmission lines at the Viana substation", says the company in the note, noting that work is underway to restore the system.
