Argentina: Massive Power Outage Strikes Buenos Aires Amid Heatwave Ahead of New Year’s Eve 4
A massive power outage hit Buenos Aires and surrounding suburbs late Tuesday, December 30, leaving tens of thousands users without electricity during an intense heatwave. The blackout was caused by a failure at Edesur’s Bosques substation and triggered widespread complaints under the hashtag #SinLuz, raising concerns as temperatures were forecast to climb near 39°C. Power was gradually restored overnight, with more than half of affected customers regaining service by early Wednesday
