Venezuela power grid faces 3,000 MW deficit as demand outpaces generation

Venezuelan engineers report a 3,000 MW shortfall between national demand (~15,000 MW) and real generation (~12,000 MW), deepening the country's chronic electricity crisis. The claim is based on expert estimates, not official data, and questions the viability of energy agreements under US oversight. This matters as it signals potential for further blackouts and economic strain in a country already facing severe infrastructure decay.
