A cable break on a power line that supplies energy to a substation serving cities. Celesc suspects a kite is causing the problem.

This ended up with our substation going out of service and about 70,000 consumers without electricity, about 22,000 in Camboriu and 48,000 in Balneario Camboriu,” explains Pedro.
Celesk’s team went to the site and analyzed the situation.
Most likely, according to the manager of Celesc, the cable broke due to a kite.
Pedro notes that kites, especially those using cerol line, end up causing problems with electrical wiring and cables, as well as creating risks.
