<p>The electrical service in Venezuela was gradually
recovering Wednesday in several regions of Venezuela
after Monday’s attack to the Guri’s transmission plant.</p>
<p><a
href="https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Venezuela-100-of-Electricity-is-Back-On-20190313-0025.html"
target="_blank">Communication and Culture Minister
Jorge Rodriguez</a> 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.</p>
<p>"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.</p>
<p>Rodriguez also explained that <a
href="https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Revolutionary-People-Guarantee-Peace-and-Democracy-Maduro-20190323-0017.html"
target="_blank">President Nicolas Maduro</a> decided
to implement a "recovery day" to reverse the <a
href="https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Venezuelan-Govt-Denounces-Latest-Attack-on-Electric-System-20190307-0033.html"
target="_blank">Guri plant</a> damage.</p>
<p>"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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>Other Venezuelan authorities also offered details of
the work being carried out to normalize the electric
service. Regarding this issue, <a

stressed the dedication of those experts who are
diligently working on the generation plant repair.</p>
<p>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.</p>
