QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — A failure in an energy transmission line on Wednesday produced an unexpected blackout throughout Ecuador, the government said, days after announcing that there would be power outages in the country due to production problems.

Thanks for the update and do you know if it was a mechanical failure of the tower/line or failure of the protection scheme?
