  Recovery of Venezuelan Electric Service Underway

March 27, 2019
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The electrical service in Venezuela was gradually recovering Wednesday 
in several regions of Venezuela after Monday’s attack to the Guri’s 
transmission plant.

Communication and Culture Minister Jorge Rodriguez 
<https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Venezuela-100-of-Electricity-is-Back-On-20190313-0025.html> 
reported Wednesday by telephone about the details of the latest events 
linked to two terrorist attacks, performed last Monday, to the 
electricity transformers at the Simon Bolivar Hydroelectric Power Plant, 
located in Guri, at the State of Bolivar.

"The intention of the terrorist criminals who physically attacked the 
electronic equipment -on which the generation and distribution of most 
of the country’s electricity is based on- was to disable the Guri, 
Caruachi and Macagua hydroelectric plants, which are synchronized with 
each other, to generate chaos across the national territory," the 
Venezuelan minister denounced.

Rodriguez also explained that President Nicolas Maduro

decided to implement a "recovery day" to reverse the Guri plant

"As soon as the terrorist’s destruction was carried out, President 
Maduro initiated the National Electric Service recovery 
process," Rodriguez said and explained that the Venezuelan head of state 
ordered to design an alternative electricity distribution procedure.

A third blackout occurred early Wednesday as a result of the system 
operational instability, damage which was initially prompted by the 
attack to the Guri transformers.

“Today, at 5 in the morning, a fault destabilized the system and caused 
a loss of electricity in a part of the national territory," Rodriguez 
informed and added that "we are investigating the reasons for the 
failure, repairing equipment and distributing electricity.”

Other Venezuelan authorities also offered details of the work being 
carried out to normalize the electric service. Regarding this issue, 
Vice president Delcy Rodriguez

stressed the dedication of those experts who are diligently working on 
the generation plant repair.

Meanwhile, Venezuelans were performing their daily activities in the 
most usual way possible, although their government decreed suspension of 
work and school activities across the national territory.
