Simeón García claims that between 2010 and 2018, tens of billions of dollars were contracted for thermoelectric plants under emergency decrees, but many projects were incomplete or non-operational.

Only 2,500 MW out of 20,000 MW installed capacity (13%) is currently producing electricity.

García estimates that rebuilding the electrical system could cost between $40 billion and $100 billion.

He mentions that the US, particularly President Trump, has prioritized Venezuela's electrical problem and is monitoring how reconstruction funds are used.

The claims, made testable

• asserted — check unavailable Simeón García claims that between 2010 and 2018, tens of billions of dollars were contracted for thermoelectric plants under emergency decrees, but many projects were incomplete or non-operational. (evidence: not measured)
• asserted — check unavailable Only 2,500 MW out of 20,000 MW installed capacity (13%) is currently producing electricity. (evidence: not measured)
• asserted — check unavailable García estimates that rebuilding the electrical system could cost between $40 billion and $100 billion. (evidence: not measured)

Pattern: 130 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on Electrical crisis, Infrastructure mismanagement, International aid, Economic recovery.

What would change the assessment

• If Venezuela's electrical generation capacity exceeds 13% of installed capacity within 90 days, the claim of only 13% operational would be invalidated. (within 90 days — Official reports from Venezuela's Ministry of Electric Power or Corpoelec)
• If the US Treasury announces a bond purchase program for Venezuela's electrical reconstruction within 180 days, the suggestion of such a measure would be confirmed. (within 180 days — US Treasury press releases or official statements)
