Large part of Zagreb without electricity for two hours, no trams.

A large part of Zagreb was without electricity for two hours tonight, affecting areas such as Maksimir, Dubrava, Dubec, and Sesvete. The power outage began around 7:05 PM and was caused by a fault at a transformer station in Dupc. Electricity started returning around 9:00 PM, though some areas remained without power until later. The outage disrupted tram services between Kvaternik Square and Dupc, causing significant delays. Residents reported frustration over the lack of information from HEP, the state-owned energy company, which did not provide updates through its website or phone lines.

Electricity was restored to eastern Zagreb around 9 p.m. after a fault caused widespread power cuts in the area, according to HEP. The outage began around 7:05 p.m., affecting parts of Dubac, Granešina, Miroševac, and Čučerje, with earlier disruptions also impacting sections of Dubrava, Maksimir, and Sesvete. Restoration efforts started around 8:45 p.m., though some areas remained without power until closer to 9 p.m. The power failure led to delays in tram services, with significant congestion reported at Kvartrić square. While public lighting and electricity in buildings were operational there, tram voltage was absent. In parts of Dubrava, residents reported no electricity or internet connectivity, and some noted a lack of information from HEP. HEP confirmed the fault was resolved, but communication channels were reportedly inaccessible. Some residents stated they could not reach HEP via phone, and others expressed frustration over the lack of updates during the outage. Despite these challenges, power gradually returned to affected neighborhoods throughout the evening.
