The outage has affected major cities, including the capital, Prague, causing chaos for commuters and raising concerns about the reliability of the nation’s power grid. The Czech government has announced that emergency services are working to restore power as quickly as possible.
Authorities have not yet provided a detailed explanation for the cause of the blackout, but early reports suggest that a technical fault may be responsible. The incident has sparked calls for greater investment in the country’s energy infrastructure, with some experts warning that such outages could become more frequent if current trends continue.
