According to him, the failure occurred on Tuesday afternoon. As a result, 99 percent of the republic's territory was left without electricity. In addition, problems with the supply of electricity were observed in two provinces of Argentina.
It is noted that problems with electricity led to the shutdown of the metro in Santiago. Traffic jams have formed on the roads of the Chilean capital due to broken traffic lights.
The authorities are investigating the cause of the accident. According to Interior Minister Karolina Toa, a massive power outage was possible due to a power line failure in the north of the country. She also stressed that we are not talking about an attack on the national energy system. rg.ru .
