Auf einen Blick
- Indonesian police on May 25 stated that the large-scale power outage on Sumatra Island was preliminarily ruled out as sabotage.
- A joint investigation team found a broken transmission cable, but the tower structure was intact, and the cable's fibrous break did not indicate human interference.
- Technical factors and extreme weather are considered more likely causes.

中新社雅加达5月25日电 (记者 李志全)印度尼西亚警方25日表示,苏门答腊岛大规模停电事件初步排除人为破坏因素。
印尼国家警察刑事调查总局当天表示,联合调查组在现场发现输电电缆断裂,但输电塔整体结构状况良好,未发现明显损坏。初步检测显示,断裂电缆呈纤维状散开,并非整齐切断,不符合人为破坏特征。
当地时间5月22日晚,苏门答腊互联电网发生故障,导致亚齐、北苏门答腊、西苏门答腊、廖内等多地大面积停电。印尼警方与国家电力公司随后组成联合调查组赴现场调查。
联合调查组认为,事故原因更倾向于技术因素及极端天气影响。调查显示,此次事故与一条275千伏超高压输电线路发生故障有关。故障导致互联电网系统频率和电压异常,多座发电机组接连跳闸,引发大范围停电。
印尼国家电力公司表示,目前苏门答腊电力系统已全面恢复正常运行,受影响地区供电情况稳定。(完)
