The Cooperativa Eléctrica de Trelew has entered a period of significant transition and instability. Initially, the new administration launched a restructuring plan to combat financial instability, high debt, and operational disorder. This plan focused on reducing operating costs, freezing vacancies, and addressing irregular connections that contribute to a 22% loss in usage.

Following the implementation of these administrative changes, the cooperative reported two power outages in areas where such incidents are typically rare. President Andrea Luna filed a formal complaint, stating that the outages appear to be the result of “intentional sabotage of transformers.” Authorities are currently investigating these disruptions, which occurred shortly after the new leadership assumed control.
