BREAKING: ECUADOR SUFFERS NATIONWIDE BLACKOUT

The nationwide blackout is due to a transmission line failure, causing a “cascade disconnection,” according to Public Infrastructure Minister Roberto Luque.

Luque:

“The immediate report that we received from the CENACE (National Center of Energy Control) is that there is a failure in the transmission line that caused a cascade disconnection, so there is no energy service on a national scale.”

Efforts are underway to resolve the issue promptly.
