Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro has designated every Friday in the
months of April and May as a non-working holiday, a bid to save
electricity as a prolonged drought pushes water levels to a critical
threshold at hydro-generation plants.
Maduro said conservation measures would also include asking large users such as shopping malls and hotels to generate their own electricity for nine hours a day. Heavy industries operating in the country will be asked to cut consumption by 20 percent, he said.
"This plan for 60 days, for two months, will allow the country to get through the most difficult period with the most risk," Maduro said in a television appearance that went past midnight late Wednesday April 06,2016
"I call on families, on the youth, to join this plan with discipline, with conscience and extreme collaboration to confront this extreme situation," he added
