< p>A few hours later, power began to return to some parts of the capital.
A massive blackout occurred in Ecuador. A faulty power line has left 18 million people without power.
This was announced by the Minister of Energy Roberto on page X.
“The immediate report we received from CENACE (National Center for Energy Control – ed.) reported that there was a failure in the power line that caused a cascading blackout, so there was no power supply throughout the country,” said Luque.
He added that the authorities were concentrating all their efforts “on solving the problem as quickly as possible.”
The Daily Express notes that within a few hours power began to return to parts of the capital Quito.
“The South American country has been grappling with an energy crisis for several years due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, poor infrastructure, lack of maintenance and dependence on imported energy. The country gets most of its energy from neighboring Colombia , a country that is also struggling to generate enough energy for its own domestic consumption,” the article says.
Recall that on the night of June 20, Russia attacked the DTEK thermal power plant. According to the company, there is serious damage to the facility.
