Lee rebukes electricity officials over nationwide blackouts

President Lee Myung-bak of South Korea harshly rebuked electricity officials over the nationwide blackouts after an investigation showed that a wrong demand forecast caused the accident.

 

South Korea suffered extensive power outages as high temperatures pushed up electricity demand.

About 2.12 million Korean households experienced temporary blackouts before the service returned to normal about five hours later, reports Yonhap News.
