BUENOS AIRES - Argentine President Mauricio Macri called the massive blackout that left tens of millions in South America without power on Sunday “unprecedented”, and promised a thorough investigation.
Macri said the blackout had been prompted by a failure in the country´s coastal grid, but said that officials still did not know what had caused the problem.Energy distributors in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, whose populations total nearly 55 million, said power was being quickly restored to major cities and heavily populated coastal regions, including Montevideo and Buenos Aires.
The massive blackout on Father’s Day left Buenos Aires dark early this morning, hobbling public transportation, cutting off water supply and crippling phone and internet communications across the city. Elsewhere in Argentina, several provinces were forced to temporarily delay local elections slated for Sunday.
