In the midst of the massive power outages that continue to affect thousands of users, the City of Buenos Aires reported that it will turn off some monuments to reduce energy consumption.
This idea also seeks to create awareness among citizens and some empathy for those who have a lack of electricity supply. On the other hand, because of this situation that also affected the distribution of water in some areas, President Alberto Fernández decided to file a complaint against Edesur, with the aim of removing the concession for the area it covers.
The monuments that will remain off due to this new measure will be:
- The Obelisk: Av. 9 de Julio and Corrientes, Buenos Aires.
- Congress Square: Av. Rivadavia and Callao, Buenos Aires.
- The Planetarium: Av. Sarmiento and Belisario Roldán, Buenos Aires.
- The Women’s Bridge: Dock 3, Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires.
- The Floralis Generica: Av. Figueroa Alcorta and Austria, Buenos Aires.
