CGE launches "Volantín Seguro 2026" campaign to prevent accidents during Fiestas Patrias

CGE, an electricity distributor serving over 3.4 million customers across Chile, has initiated its "Volantín Seguro CGE" campaign. This initiative aims to foster awareness and caution during the Fiestas Patrias, the national independence celebrations. The campaign's slogan, "Celebremos con energía de la buena" (Let's celebrate with good energy), underscores its focus on preventing accidents related to the electrical grid.

Through a series of social media posts and other media outreach, CGE is sharing safety advice and tips. The company emphasizes the importance of reflection on activities during the holiday period. Cristian Briceño, deputy director of Centralized Services at CGE, stated, "This campaign is a call for self-care, prevention, and enjoying these Fiestas Patrias while being aware of potential dangers and how to avoid them."

Key recommendations include enjoying traditional activities safely, particularly those involving kites, which can pose a significant risk if flown near power lines. The campaign encourages the public to be mindful of their surroundings and to prioritize safety to ensure a festive and accident-free celebration.
