Open the reliability mapPower outages in South America: questions and answers
Is there a live map of power outages in South America?
Yes. powercut.io shows current power outages in Brazil and Argentina on one map, from the outage feeds that 6 distribution companies publish themselves. It updates every ten minutes and is free to use without an account.
Which distribution companies are on the map?
Brazil: Enel São Paulo, Enel Rio, Enel Ceará and CEMIG Distribuição. Argentina: Edenor and Edesur. Each country page lists them with links to their own outage maps.
How many people are without power in South America right now?
14,885 customers were without power from 449 unplanned outages at 09:00 UTC. The real number is higher: not every company publishes its outages, and some do not say how many customers are affected.
Where do I report a power outage?
To the company that owns the power lines in your area, which may not be the one you pay for electricity. Every country and town page on powercut lists them and links to their outage pages. Stay away from fallen power lines, and if anyone is in danger, call your local emergency number.
Can I get a notification when the power goes out near me?
Yes. On the alerts page you choose a place and a radius, and powercut sends a notification to your phone or computer when a new outage is reported inside it, and again when the power is back. More
