TEGUCIGALPA, July 7 (Reuters) - A major power outage in Central America cut electricity to some 15 million residents on Wednesday, with the worst impact felt in Honduras and Nicaragua, according to regional power operator EOR, as efforts to get the lights back on were ramped up.
The two most-affected countries saw power for nearly all residents “practically go down to zero volts,” EOR communications head Evelyn Flores told Reuters.
The grid operator said the outage began at 1 p.m. (1900 GMT) but the cause and specific origin of the massive loss of power still being determined.
