translated from Spanish: Deputy Fuenzalida asks the electrics to clarify measures to prevent cuts in the capital after light drizzle that interrupted the supply

Deputy RN Gonzalo Fuenzalida officiated at the Superintendenc Electricity and Fuel IA (SEC) with the objective of knowing what are the measures that the electric companies have taken to avoid or reduce the light cuts in certain sectors of the metropolitan region.
This after the massive interruptions of supply occurred during the light drizzle that affected the capital and were denounced in social networks.
The parliamentarian also consulted the auditing body if it has instructed measures to prevent and mitigate the effects of light cuts and, if so, what the detail and status of the progress of these are.
Fuenzalida explained that “during the first days of this month there have been light cuts in the metropolitan region, many of them in the east sector. These cuts of light affect the routine of people in a gravitational way and we would not like to repeat the experience of previous years where thousands of families saw their daily activities affected, either by the lack of investment of the electric companies or by the Non-existent prevention measures that should be implemented by energy-supplying companies. ”
“Winter is approaching, we are only in May and we have had light cuts in some sectors of our capital. Power companies cannot blame you in bad weather constantly, they must take charge of delivering an efficient and continuous service in time, “he added.
In this sense, the legislator RN argued that “we want to know if companies are implementing preventive measures, particularly the Enel company, who in the past has pointed out that ‘ the main source of these cuts are flaws and damage that lines suffer such as cable cutting, post-drop or other, due to inclement weather in the autumn and winter season. ”
“We don’t want this kind of excuses again,” concluded the parliamentarian.
