Kazakhstan has denied any connection between the power outages in Uzbekistan and the accident.

Kazakhstan's Ministry of Energy has denied claims that power outages in Uzbekistan were related to a breakdown in Kazakhstan's power grid. The ministry called these reports false.

It was previously reported that a power surge in Kazakhstan occurred due to a sudden change in the flow of electricity from the Central Asian Power System, which triggered emergency control systems. This resulted in power outages for some consumers in several regions of the country.

Specifically, four districts of Almaty and ten districts in the Almaty region were left without power. "The information circulating in some public groups that the power outages in Uzbekistan were caused by a breakdown in Kazakhstan's power grid is untrue," the Kazakh Ministry of Energy stated.

According to KEGOC, Kazakhstan's power grid operator, three 500 kV power lines were shut down as a result of the incident. The volume of power supply restrictions for consumers in Kazakhstan amounted to approximately 2,810 MW.

Kazakhstan's Ministry of Energy reported that power supply through KEGOC has now been fully restored. Regional energy suppliers are continuing to gradually reconnect individual consumers. The ministry also stated that the situation is under control.

On the afternoon of August 14, power outages occurred simultaneously in four countries: Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
