The central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan suffered electrical power outages in major cities on Tuesday, according to authorities and residents, after a major power line in Kazakhstan was disconnected.
The grids of the three ex-Soviet republics are interconnected, and via Kazakhstan are linked to the Russian power grid which they can use to cover unexpected shortages.
But Kazakhstan's North-South power line, which links densely populated southern Kazakhstan and its two neighbours to major power stations in northern Kazakhstan and the Russian network, was disconnected on Tuesday morning due to "emergency imbalances" in the Central Asian part of the grid, grid operator KEGOC said.
The blackout caused chaos across the region for several hours, with subway trains stuck in tunnels and skiers on lifts, airports closing, district heating and tap water pumps going idle and traffic lights switching off.
Neither [sic] of the three countries reported any problems with its power stations that could have caused the imbalances.

Heh
“Neither [sic] of the three countries reported any problems with its power stations that could have caused the imbalances.”
Just a little taste of what Putin can do, if the stans decide to act up, while he puts an end to hooligans in Ukraine.
They were quoting somebody because they put “(sic)” after “neither” which indicates it wasn’t the Reuters’ usage.
That was me. I put that in there.
oh!
High-performance video cards used in the operation consume a lot of energy.
As a matter of fact he did. I was thinking about that as I read this.....wonder if somebody wants to make it look like Russia. These players on the world stage do that a lot. It’s a difficult thing to really know who is who and what each are doing or hiding behind others actions.
I think also all three are muslim countries perhaps. At least have many within them.
We do know that the Democrats and Putin are certainly at war with each other.....unfinished business from the Obama administration of which there are many in Biden’s group making the calls.
Thanks for that. I truly have little idea how crypto and mining of same actually work.
