generators are being used in Guayaquil to prevent power outages due to heat. This year the number of generators in the "Summer Plan" was tripled to prevent blackouts.
The company Edesur confirmed that 19 more pieces of equipment were added after the fire at the Caballito substation, which on Saturday left 60,000 users without supply. By Tuesday afternoon everyone had recovered service, but it will take two to four months for the situation to be restored, the company said.
