Summary
Venezuela is facing a significant power deficit of nearly 3,000 megawatts, leading to widespread protests and daily power cuts in several states. The deficit is attributed to a turbine failure at the Guri dam and a breakdown at a Zulia plant, exacerbated by high demand and heat. Engineers estimate the national demand at about 15,000 megawatts, with available generation around 12,000 megawatts, resulting in a shortfall covered by rationing. Night protests have spread across states including Aragua, Cojedes, and Táchira, with residents blocking roads and demanding answers from the authorities. The government blames high demand, heat from El Niño, and recent earthquakes, while the opposition and experts point to corruption and neglected maintenance.
