The lines have come down due to sabotage and bad weather. Downed transmission lines increase the probability for complete nationwide blackout by reducing system contingency and causing mechanical damage at power plants. This may cause further temporary blackouts, which have already directly resulted in 1) impacted refineries causing reduced fuel flow to power plants and a subsequent reduction in power supply, and 2) damages in the power plants due to undercurrent causing units to come off-line for unscheduled maintenance.
