TBILISI. July 9 (Interfax) - Tbilisi and other parts of Georgia were left without electricity after an accident on Friday on an arterial transmission line, the Georgian State Electric System told Interfax.
It was unclear at the moment of the company's report what had put the Imereti line out of operation.
The line links eastern Georgia to the Inguri hydro power plant in the west of the country, which had been generating nearly two-thirds of the nation's electricity before the accident.
Imereti is owned by Gruzrosenergo
