Power outages: "We want service restrictions to occur in an orderly manner"Autino said.

EDET announced new scheduled power outages in Tucumán. High temperatures are expected, causing an increase in demand. The company explained that due to the damage to a part of the transportation system, it must be repaired. The cuts will be rotating between 12 and 11 p.m. today, as announced, for Greater Tucumán.

Guillermo Autino, in charge of communication and relations with the EDET community, was interviewed on LG PLAY about the service outages. “If the technical conditions are repeated, which is the lack of this damaged facility, and the climatic conditions, which is the heat, it is very likely that they will require us to restrict demands because a saturation is generated on the line that is currently supporting all this area – he explained -. As long as the cable remains damaged and it is hot there will be restrictions,” he stated.

Autino highlighted that “the company’s intention is that the service restrictions occur in an orderly manner as possible. This is what we try to do with the order of the groups so that we do not cut off everyone at the same time; we are rotating the schedule “.

“There are two factors, on the one hand the transportation system is complicated and needs to be more robust; in addition there was a breakage of a cable, located in Marco Avellaneda 100, which connects two transformer stations (Estatica Sur and Sarmiento) and the non-operation It causes the transportation system to change its configuration. The demand that runs through that El Bracho-Cevil Pozo line increased. It is a cable that is more than 50 years old and without that link between those two stations and all the demand in the northern area falls about the El Bracho station, which is at risk of becoming saturated,” he said.

EDET explained that the highest consumption occurs between 2 and 5 p.m. in Tucumán. Regarding the claims of the people of Tucumán for the power outages, Autino admitted that the company is blamed, but clarified that the problems are separate.

“The complaints fall on EDET. That is a logical issue because we are the visible face of the system and we prepare for that. We understand that we have contact with the client and it works that way. That does not imply that when there are problems they are the company’s. “If we do not focus on where this problem is, we make a mistake in the diagnosis and we will surely make a mistake in the attempt to solve it,” he remarked.

“The distribution system is not in crisis. What is in crisis is the transportation and supply system in Argentina. It seems to me that answers the question. The claim is logical, the anger, no one wants to be without service, but The important thing here is to address the real problem,” he insisted.

Regarding investments, Autino defended what EDET had done throughout its years in Tucumán. “The company is 28 years old. Historically it has been shown that the investments have been fulfilled. Our entire plan is presented and certified,” he said. “All the works that exist can be contacted. On the website there is the investment plan, the amount, when it was done. It is a matter of verifying that many things that are said are verified,” he stated. He watches the full interview on LG PLAY.
