A wide-scale power outage occurred across several regions in Venezuela on Monday after Guri, the country's main hydro-electric plant was sabotaged again, according to Venezuelan Communications Minister Jorge Rodriguez.
Authorities have managed to restore power quickly, he added.
However, the power failure in the capital Caracas seriously disrupted traffic. Congestion was triggered by traffic light outage as well as the temporal suspension of the subway system.
"I had to walk for a long while because there's no electricity in the subway system," said a resident.
"I've reserved water at home and ice for the refrigerator to deal with the power outage. I've made enough preparations," said another resident in Caracas.
Venezuela suffered its worst blackout ever earlier this month, when a power outage plunged nearly the entire country in darkness for five days.
Officials blamed the blackout on sabotage by right-wing extremists working to undermine the government.
More than 60 percent electricity in Venezuela was generated by hydro-electric plants.
