A massive power outage affects several neighborhoods in the City of Buenos Aires and the southern area of the Conurbano, triggering a wave of complaints and memes on social media with the hashtag #WithoutLight becoming a trend. Despite the magnitude of the outage, the company Edesur has not issued an official statement explaining the causes of the blackout or provided estimates on the restoration of service.
"On top of that, it's the first day of classes for many... #WithoutLight," shared a user on social media referring to the lack of light and the intense heat. Meanwhile, residents continue to await answers, exacerbating the growing outrage in line with memes and complaints.
In addition to complaints, users took advantage of the situation to share memes, creating a humorous tone amid the frustration. The company's last communication was a warning about the risk of electrical storms in its concession area. Meanwhile, uncertainty among affected users increases due to the lack of information from both Edesur and the National Electricity Regulatory Agency (ENRE).
"What happened @OfficialEdesur?" questioned another user on social media, reflecting the impatience and confusion of those affected by the power outage. The posts show the frustration of thousands of people, especially because the outage coincided with the first day of classes and high temperatures, generating a sense of widespread discomfort.
Among the most common criticisms are comparisons with previous power outages and jokes about the lack of investment in the electrical system. So far, neither Edesur nor the ENRE has provided official information about the causes of the outage or the estimated times for service recovery, leaving those affected without clear answers and adding to the frustration of the situation.
