Venezuela power grid faces 3,800 MW deficit; engineers propose three-phase stabilization plan

Engineers in Venezuela's Lara state diagnose a severe structural deficit in the National Electric System: installed capacity exceeds 30,000 MW but actual supply is only 12,000 MW against demand of 15,800 MW, leaving a constant 3,800 MW shortfall. A three-phase stabilization plan is proposed, but no official adoption or funding is confirmed. This highlights chronic infrastructure decay and potential for further blackouts, affecting economic activity and public services.
