Overview
- Regulator ENRE reported about 31,000 users without power at 23:00, with outages easing to roughly 25,000 around midnight across Edesur and Edenor areas.
- Utilities linked the stress to extreme heat that drove heavy use of air conditioners and fans, pushing demand to levels that test distribution capacity.
- ENRE data showed concentrated cuts in Buenos Aires neighborhoods such as Recoleta, Villa del Parque and Monserrat, and in southern suburbs including Avellaneda, Lomas de Zamora, Florencio Varela and Esteban Echeverría.
- Outside the metropolitan area, La Plata recorded a second straight day of blackouts affecting Tolosa and other sectors.
- Customers can track local service status on ENRE’s interactive outage map, while forecasts from the national meteorological service point to even higher temperatures on December 31.
