Power Outages Plague Asunción and Central Department

The capital city and the Central Department are experiencing a wave of power outages, leaving residents frustrated and in the dark. Social media platforms have been abuzz with reports of intermittent electricity supply, particularly in areas like the Trinidad neighborhood and near Cañada del Ybyray in Asunción. These disruptions have become a recurring issue in recent days, extending into the evening.

Users have taken to platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to voice their concerns, with reports also coming in from San Cristóbal neighborhood in the capital, as well as from cities such as Ñemby, Lambaré, and Mariano Roque Alonso. The National Electricity Administration (ANDE) has acknowledged these complaints, with its official account responding to users by inquiring about the specific issues or stating that "work is underway" to restore service.

To manage the influx of reports, ANDE has shared information on its official channels for making complaints. Residents are encouraged to use WhatsApp, the "Mi ANDE" mobile application, the ANDE website, or the call center to report their electricity problems. This situation highlights the ongoing challenges in maintaining a stable power supply across the region, impacting daily life for many.
