Buenos Aires, January 15, 2026 -- Edenor provided official details about the causes of the power outage that left much of the AMBA without electricity on Thursday afternoon. According to the Argentine News Agency, the company reported that 'at approximately 14:45, a failure was registered at the Morón Substation at the 220 kV level,' which caused an initial impact on approximately 800,000 customers. The contingency was of such magnitude that it 'compromised nearly a third of Edenor's total demand,' mainly affecting the north and west corridors of its concession area. After the incident was detected, operational restoration protocols were immediately activated. According to the distributor's report, normalization was quick: At 30 minutes: 'More than 50% of users already had their electricity service normalized.' At 60 minutes: 'Within the first hour, more than 90% of the initially affected users had their service restored.'
