Wait 5 sec.

Venezuela's largest Amuay refinery, a crucial fuel producer, faced a temporary shutdown due to a power outage following recent deadly earthquakes. While electricity was later restored, allowing operations to resume, the nation's energy infrastructure remains fragile. The smaller El Palito refinery and petrochemical complex are also struggling with unstable power, raising concerns about domestic fuel supply as the country recovers.
