Energy Ministry to investigate southern blackouts

The Ministry of Energy will study Tuesday evening's blackouts in all 14 southern provinces so that the findings will be served as a lesson for the future, Energy Minister Pongsak Ruktapongpisal said Wednesday.

 

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said the government did not want to see such a widespread power outage in the South again.
“I was shocked to learn about [the blackouts]. This never happened before. We do not want to see such an outage in the entire southern region again because there are adverse impacts to tourism and the local residents,” Yingluck said before leaving for Japan.
