SANTA FE — Reports of a power outage in Santa Fe today, September 28, 2026, are drawing attention from residents as electricity-service interruptions and utility work are being monitored in areas identified in current reports.

Because Santa Fe can refer to communities in different regions, outage information should be tied to the specific location before details are reported as fact. Current reporting confirms a scheduled electricity interruption in parts of Santa Fe, Argentina, while the sources reviewed do not independently establish a major citywide outage in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The Empresa Provincial de la Energía (EPE) announced a scheduled interruption for Monday, September 28, affecting part of the city of Santa Fe, Argentina.

The interruption was scheduled from 8 a.m. to noon in the areas of Boneo, Alberti, Estrada and Avenida Peñaloza.

According to the published notice, the work involves electrical infrastructure, including replacement of conductors and related maintenance activity.

The available report describes the interruption as planned maintenance, rather than an emergency caused by a sudden system failure.

The planned work includes the replacement of electrical conductors, along with other infrastructure-related activities. A separate report also referenced replacement of poles and clearing of electrical corridors.
