The Government instructed the National Electricity Regulatory Entity (ENRE) to criminally denounce the Edesur board of directors for embezzlement, fraud to the detriment of the public administration and abandonment of person.

Thousands of users suffered – and still do – power cuts in recent days, in the midst of the heat wave that hit the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) and other parts of the country. There were more than 200,000 affected.
However, the ENRE data always showed a wide difference between the affected customers of Edesur and Edenor, the two distribution companies that operate in the area.
This morning, for example, more than 36,000 users were without service, 35,900 from Edesur.
