Overview
- Sedapal and Pluz Energía are enforcing published sector timetables for water and electricity cuts in Lima Metropolitana and Callao that remain active on Wednesday, Aug. 26 and run through Aug. 28 for some zones.
- Sedapal has deployed tanker trucks at priority points and both companies instruct residents to verify whether their urbanización or sector is listed in official online schedules before the planned outages.
- In Mexico the CFE carried out a 14‑hour suspension in Tlalixcoyan on Aug. 25 and confirmed 10:00–17:00 maintenance suspensions for Polotitlán on Aug. 26–27 while Siapa in Zapopan is repairing a failed Tanque Polanco that has reduced pressure or cut service to about 38 colonias through Aug. 27.
- A recent fire at Edelap’s Tolosa substation in La Plata caused a mass blackout affecting roughly 61,521 users, and residents continue to report intermittent outages, voltage problems, protests and municipal proposals for a contingency system to protect electrodependent people and critical services.
- The coverage shows a clear split between planned, sector‑targeted maintenance that includes mitigation steps and unplanned infrastructure failures that create wider, harsher impacts on homes, health centers and traffic systems and that could prompt regulatory scrutiny and more local contingency measures.
