Venezuela implements nationwide power-rationing plan
Edited on Tue May-10-11 01:13 PM by ChangoLoa
Igor Gavidia, the head of the National Center for Electric Power Delivery, said in an interview with state-run TV network Venezolana de Televisión (VTV) that the National Electrical Corporation (Corpoelec) will implement on Tuesday a power-rationing plan in most of the Venezuelan states, aimed at stabilizing the power grid.

He added that rationing could reach up to 800 megawatts (MW). He pointed out that the plan will be implemented from Tuesday noon to 3 p.m.

Gavidia explained that the states affected by the rationing plan are Carabobo, Yaracuy, Guárico, Cojedes, Portuguesa, Miranda, Aragua, Falcón, Mérida, Táchira, Trujillo, Barinas, Apure, Sucre, Monagas, Anzoátegui, Nueva Esparta, Zulia and Lara, for a total of 19 Venezuelan states.
