Major BlackOut in La Paz Yesterday

Two electric transformers exploded at 4:00 pm yesterday due to an overload, said the CFE in La Paz, causing a black out of 7 and 15 hours in different areas of the City. The electricity demand broke the 2019 record, with 590 MW last week and 540 this week. Fire up your A/C only when you really need it and in the area where you need it, or the blackouts will continue.
