Chile is emerging from a power outage that left 8 million homes without electricity and shut off service to major copper mines in its worst such incident in at least 15 years.
Power was brought back to millions of households overnight, and 94% of clients now have supply, Undersecretary of the Interior Luis Cordero said early Wednesday. Most of those still affected are in the north of the country, where the theft of cables delayed the restoration of electricity to some clients in the Atacama region.
