Epec Issues Street-Level Power Outage Schedule for Córdoba on August 15-16

The preventive outages aim to reinforce Córdoba’s aging grid before peak summer use

Overview

  • Epec’s online portal lists timed interruptions for August 15 in areas from Marcos Juárez and La Carlota to central Córdoba neighborhoods and for August 16 in Amboy, Rumipal, parts of San Francisco and Río Cuarto.
  • Each entry details outage start and end times, the maintenance type—such as aerial line work, transformer or substation tasks and vegetation trimming—and the specific sectors affected.
  • Company officials describe the planned cuts as preventive maintenance to modernize distribution assets and prevent unexpected blackouts during high-demand months.
  • Residents and businesses are urged to disconnect sensitive devices, secure alternative lighting and water supplies and check Epec’s portal for any weather-related adjustments.
  • The campaign builds on a province-wide resilience effort launched in July and runs alongside similar maintenance drives by CFE, AEY, EDES and Protección Civil ahead of peak load periods.
