## Resource

Venezuela’s electricity crisis may be turning a corner after signing a landmark deal with General Electric to overhaul its crumbling grid—bringing back 1,000 megawatts in two years and 5,000 in four. Years of blackouts, blamed on neglected infrastructure and mismanagement, could soon see relief thanks to new laws loosening state control and U.S. sanctions easing to allow foreign investment. With a 3,000-megawatt power deficit and aging thermal and hydroelectric plants failing, this deal aims to restore essential services while aligning with Washington’s broader strategy to stabilize Venezuela and support democratic progress. Final contract details are now being ironed out to kickstart repairs. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
