Blackouts?

How long do the blackouts in Cuenca last, typically? Is advance notice given? Have there been security issues associated, such as looting, break-ins, etc.?

The blackouts have now been suspended in Cuenca since there has been much rain since about Dec. 16th 0 0

Much good info below. The simplest way to check is if you have the meter-holder's number. If landlord's, it should be on your lease. Go to web or CentroSur app. https://www.centrosur.gob.ec/consulta-avanzada/ Enter the cédula or account number, click "consultar" and it will tell you - for today only. 0 0

The schedule changes by day, unfortunately. This is because they closely monitor the situation and try not to do a blackout if possible. Currently, they are lengths of 2 hours, 8-10, 10-12, 12-2, 2-4, and 4-6. No night time or weekend blackouts. Occasionally they delete the 8-10 blackout. This information... Read more 0 0

I have seen a couple of schedules posted, none of which I can find now, but they have been indecipherable anyway. Try gringopost•com/2023/10/31/schedule-for-rolling-blackouts-today/ for some info. (Replace the "•" with ".") I live five blocks NE of Parque Calderon and we've had no blackouts here, but last Friday morning I... Read more 0 0

This round, I haven't experienced anything longer than 2 hours, and only between 8am-6pm. Yes, the power company posts the schedules on their website so you know which neighborhoods will be affected and when. Stop being a paranoid Chicken Little and learn to live with a little discomfort. Jeez! 0 0

You don't know how this has effected the locals here many people here work online and they are suffering as most people here need every dollar that they make to survive. 2 hours might not seem like a lot of time for you but for Ecuadorians it's taking crucial dollars... 0 0

It sounds like you trade stocks. As for Ecuadorians... 0 0

This is not the USA. Rather than ask people to try and conserve energy, their Government decided that everyone (except designated commercial and gov entities) would suffer 2 hour blackouts until their chinese dam (the chinese stole vast amounts of money and built piss-poor dams that are breaking down and...

You didn't answer the questions. You merely went on a political rant. 0 0
Larry Lipman
That was the answer. The Chinese screwed over the Ecuadorians. The dam that generates the energy doesn't have the ability to do that for 24/7. So we have planned rolling 2 hour black outs. What's political or evasive about that? You may not like my politics. Most Expats are very... 0 0

It's hilarious when someone so sure of their "facts" gets it totally wrong. There are at least10 hydro plants in Ecuador, not just one "Chinese dam". We are currently experiencing black outs because we are in a drought. It's not raining enough to adequately fill the reservoirs behind the dams.... 0 0

Please read and then you can agree that it's also Chinese tech that failed https://medium.com/@vanessangethe393/ecuadors-power-woes-unraveling-blackout-causes-64c9cb85eb3f 0 0

It’s easy to keep track of. Assuming there is going to be a blackout for you and your area is, say, on a two hour schedule, the blackout today will be two hours later than the one you had yesterday. They rotate through the schedule. 0 0

1. 2-4 hours 2. Usually no more than 24 hours, unless like this past weekend, it was decided that several days there would be none 3. Since the blackouts are during the day, never at night, no security issues. We are all doing our part to deal with the lack... Read more 0 0
