Some 40,000 users of the City and the GBA have problems with the electricity supply this Thursday, according to the report of the page of the National Entity of Regulation of Electricity (ENRE).
At 15.30 (the page is updated every 15 minutes), there were 38,553 users of both distributors (Edesur and Edenor) distributed in neighborhoods such as Once, Caballito, Parque Chacabuco, Parque Patricios and Recoleta or Palermo, in the Capital, and towns such as Lomas from Zamora, Villa Domínico, Martínez, Pilar, Villa Martelli or Burzaco, in different Conurbano matches.
According to the official explanation, the excessive heat (at 15.30 the temperature was 34.9 ° and the thermal sensation exceeded 40 °) causes the demand for energy to increase significantly, which begins to cause system failures of distribution.
According to sources in the sector, 50 Megawats of the historical record of consumption of 4,126 Mw, which was produced in February 2018, stood.
For now, although at the end of the day the account of affected users on Wednesday reached 200,000, the cuts do not represent blackouts and, according to the companies, are resolved between three and four hours after they occurred. Edesur and Edenor have about five and a half million customers in the City and the GBA.
However, in social networks there are users who express their complaints and claims for the lack of electricity supply, especially at night, when for many air conditioning and fans are essential at the time of rest.
