Venezuela power deficit tops 3,600 MW; structural collapse cited

Venezuela's electricity crisis has deepened to a structural deficit exceeding 3,600 megawatts, according to radiologist and political leader Enrique Ferreira. He attributes the collapse to years of disinvestment, transmission grid deterioration, technological obsolescence, and loss of specialized talent, not temporary factors. The scale of the deficit implies prolonged blackouts and economic disruption, with no near-term fix indicated.
