Venezuela: 87.3% of households report power outages 4+ days weekly

A national survey by Meganálisis reports that 87.3% of Venezuelan households experienced power outages at least four days a week in September 2026, indicating a severe and widespread deterioration of the national grid. The figure, based on 1,357 interviews, suggests chronic infrastructure failure rather than isolated incidents, though the survey's methodology and sampling are not detailed. This level of outage frequency implies significant economic disruption and humanitarian strain, potentially affecting public health and business operations.
