Crisis in Venezuela

The city of Maracaibo Venezuela is without light today Friday April 12, 2019, at the end of the last mega blackout the city can not be supplied with just 400 MW that arrive from the Gurí. That is why the recently imposed "Cargo Management Plan" only guarantees 4 hours of electric service per day to each distribution circuit of Corpoelec, this new rationing will be extended for one year, according to President Nicolás Maduro's announcement a week ago. .The Ramón Laguna thermoelectric plant located in the industrial zone of southern Maracaibo is another unmistakable sign of the real situation of thermal generation facilities in the region. Its five units of turbo-steam are made to provide 660 MW but the same is paralyzed does not work, while the inhabitants suffer the extreme conditions of living without drinking water, cooking in the dark, without communications, without food as the points do not work of sales of the shops, a total chaos that has no short-term solution.
