Overview

  • Camuzzi concluded its door-to-door operation on July 5, reconnecting more than 2,700 households alongside industrial and CNG customers
  • Over 200 company collaborators worked around the clock and prioritized educational facilities to enable classes to resume across almost the entire district
  • The distributor reactivated industrial lines and GNC stations and established a permanent standby team with 24-hour emergency lines for any missed connections
  • The outage resulted from a 25% surge in demand driven by an extreme cold wave that dropped network pressure below safety thresholds
  • Infrastructure Minister Gabriel Katopodis attributed the crisis to underinvestment, highlighting the halted Gasoducto de la Costa project as a key vulnerability
