Massive electrical outage leaves all of Argentina and Uruguay without power

A massive outage blacked out Argentina and Uruguay Sunday, leaving both South American countries without electricity, according to power companies.

“A massive failure in the electrical interconnection system left all Argentina and Uruguay without power,” Edesur Argentina says on Twitter.

Uruguay’s UTE power company says “a fault in the Argentina network affected the interconnected system, leaving the entire national territory without service, as well as several provinces of the neighbor country.” It said the system went down at 7:06 am (1006 GMT).
