Summary

Venezuela's electrical grid is severely impacted by US sanctions, leading to frequent blackouts and power surges that damage appliances and disrupt water supply. The government's response includes celebrating a recent peak demand as a 'historic milestone' despite higher past demands without blackouts. The proposed solution involves privatization and opening up the electricity sector to private operators, despite the grid's structural issues and operational deficit. Experts estimate a complete overhaul could cost up to $40 billion. The situation is exacerbated by the recent oil deal with a US-controlled company, NABEP, which further benefits the US at Venezuela's expense.
