The Companhia Elétrica de Minas Gerais (Cemig) has announced scheduled electrical maintenance planned for February 7, affecting the neighborhood of Floresta in Barbacena. This maintenance is set to begin at 9 AM and is expected to last until 2 PM.
During this timeframe, residents of Antônio Fernandes Gali, João Marinho da Silva, and Quatorze de Agosto streets will be without power as the company undertakes works to improve the electrical network. Cemig emphasized the importance of these maintenance efforts, stating they are necessary to sustain reliable service for the community.
“Caso ocorra algum fato que impeça a realização dos serviços, a interrupção poderá ser cancelada sem aviso prévio,” Cemig warned, indicating potential for unexpected changes to the maintenance schedule. Residents are encouraged to stay updated as the situation progresses, as any unforeseen circumstances may require a last-minute cancelation of the planned outage.
Safety remains a primary concern during such undertakings. Cemig urged the community to remain cautious, explaining, “Por medida de segurança, o usuário deve sempre considerar a rede da Cemig energizada, mesmo durante a manutenção.” They stress this important message to avoid accidents, reminding everyone to treat all power lines as if they are live, even during maintenance activities.
Residents are advised to prepare for the outage by ensuring any necessary adjustments to their schedules and power needs are handled accordingly. Such disruptions are part of Cemig's broader commitment to maintaining and enhancing the electrical infrastructure throughout Minas Gerais.
While the maintenance activities might cause some short-term inconveniences, they are aimed at preventing larger issues down the line, ensuring the continued reliability of electrical services. Therefore, it is of utmost importance for users to comply with safety advisories and be aware of the work being carried out.
For those affected, additional announcements and updates will likely be provided by Cemig as the scheduled date approaches. Residents are encouraged to monitor communications from the company to stay informed about the status of the maintenance and any changes to the work schedule.
This maintenance initiative highlights Cemig's dedication to maintaining high standards of electricity supply and infrastructure reliability, reflecting their commitment to serving the people of Minas Gerais effectively.
