Argentina – Buenos Aires Blackouts to Continue

The Buenos Aires metropolitan area will continue to experience sporadic blackouts through Dec. 25 due to an ongoing heat wave. On Dec. 18, government officials announced they will implement planned power cuts on a rolling basis throughout the city in order to prevent overtaxing of the electrical grid during peak energy usage. Weather forecasts predict that the heat wave will continue through Dec. 25, with temperatures projected to reach nearly 100 F on Dec. 23 and 24.
