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)
