They had massive physical damage from a powerful hurricane, their grid didn't just fail. Transmission lines and substations had to be repaired.
That is ignoring issues like Whitefish Energy among other things. Very different situation.
edit: yes, we know that nothing anywhere near comparable to hurricane Maria hit them.
- da_chicken 7y agoDo we know that there's been no grid damage in Argentina? It is the middle of winter.
- cryptonector 7y agoMost of the population and the grid are in temperate weather zones that get little wintry weather.
- wickerman 7y agoMost of the country has a very warm winter (yesterday I spoke to my mam and she said it was 16 C). There's been grid problems since I have memory. Doesn't surprise me that the whole thing eventually went down.
