LUMA and Genera point at each other over the Costa Sur blackout; two figures of customers without power

On August 30, 2026, El Vocero reports that Costa Sur units 5 and 6 went out of service Sunday. LUMA activated load-shedding. LUMA and Genera point at each other over the blackout. This page is power, not water. No reservoir is pasted here, and no rationing shift. This Sunday's fact is generation that drops at Costa Sur and load that LUMA cuts.

Metro, the same 30th at 20:12, puts 175,352 customers without electricity at 3:00 p.m. EFE, picked up by Infobae at 15:00 local time, prints 197,674. Those are two totals. No winner is chosen. They are not averaged. The 175,352 is Metro's at 3:00 p.m. The 197,674 is EFE/Infobae's at 15:00 local. Two clocks. Two totals. This desk leaves them together. They are not fused into a single blackout count.

El Vocero describes the exchange of blame: generation that falls, load that is cut, and two operators who do not carry the same count. Each points at the other. This desk does not choose. There is in this note no Carraízo report and no 48-hour shift. What remains is units 5 and 6, LUMA's shedding, and two figures of customers without power. A reader who wants the blame exchange has the El Vocero URL at the foot. This is not original reporting.
