Ecuador to implement nationwide blackout overnight on WednesdayEcuador will implement a
nationwide blackout for maintenance in the country's electricity system overnight on Wednesday, from 10 p.m. local time to Thursday at 6 a.m., the government said in a statement on Sunday.
The measure is aimed at
"preventative maintenance" in National Transmission System sites and in the power distribution network, the statement said. The transmission work will cost around $1.19 million, while maintenance on distribution will cost around $1 million.
The power cut comes as Ecuador contends with a serious drought that is affecting hydroelectric dams, which supply most of the country's power.
