Este martes 31 de julio se registró dos mega apagones que dejó a oscuras al 80 % de la Gran Caracas.
El presidente de la estatal Corporación Eléctrica de Venezuela, Luis Motta Domínguez, informó que la falla se habría registrado en la población de Santa Teresa del Tuy, en el estado Miranda.
Entre zonas afectadas por la falta de servicio eléctrico Los Ruices, Guarenas, Guatire, Los Samanes, Los Palos Grandes, Altamira, El Cafetal, El Marqués, Palo Verde, La Trinidad, Baruta, Chuao, Las Mercedes, La Florida, La Castallena, La Candelaria, El Paraíso,  Plaza Venezuela, Petare, Santa Eduvigis, Valle Coche,  El Silencio, Capuchinos, Capitolio, Catia, entre otras.
También se registra este apagón en el estado Miranda, Vargas, Táchira, Zulia y en algunas zonas de Aragua.
El ministro de Electricidad, Luis Motta Domínguez escribió en su cuenta en Twitter que “en estos momentos hay interrupción del servicio eléctrico en un 80 % de Caracas. La falla tiene su origen en Santa Teresa. Se está trabajando para reponer el servicio”.
Los cortes eléctricos son frecuentes en Venezuela, especialmente en el interior. En varios estados del oeste, como el petrolero Zulia, se aplica un racionamiento diario que en ocasiones dura hasta 12 horas.
El gobierno atribuye los apagones a “sabotajes” de sus adversarios para crear descontento popular, mientras que la oposición los vincula con el deterioro de la infraestructura por falta de inversión, impericia y corrupción.
En Caracas no son tan frecuentes los cortes, pero entre diciembre y febrero pasado se registraron varios que se prolongaron por varias horas.
