In a statement, the institution assured that technical teams were sent to the affected area to begin repair work and restore service “progressively and safely,” although it did not detail which communities were affected.
The National Electric Corporation (Corpoelec) denounced this Saturday a “new criminal sabotage” that would have caused the fall of three transmission towers in the state of Anzoátegui. According to the company, the incident sought to “destabilize an essential public service for the eastern people.”
In a statement, the institution assured that technical teams were sent to the affected area to begin repair work and restore service “progressively and safely,” although it did not detail which communities were harmed.
Corpoelec framed this fact within what it calls an “unconventional war” against Venezuela, ensuring that this type of actions “attack the well-being” of the country. The company also urged citizens to “maintain trust” in its workers, whom it described as committed and with “patriotic conscience.”

The complaint adds to other similar allegations made in September, when the state company spoke of two attacks against transmission lines that occurred in less than a week. At that time, Corpoelec blamed “groups that operate at the service of dark interests” and linked the events to an alleged “war and psychological escalation” attributed to the “North American empire.”
In February, the Ministry of Electric Energy denounced another alleged “terrorist attack” against transmission towers in Anzoátegui, and in May it blamed sectors of the “extremist right” for similar events in the state of Aragua.
For now, Corpoelec has not offered public evidence of the alleged sabotage nor has it specified the exact damage to the network. The company assures that repairs are already underway.
