In addition to household and commercial power losses, industrial operations are affected; Reuters stated that Escondida, the world’s largest copper mine, is currently without electricity. Airline services, specifically LATAM Airlines, are also experiencing disruptions, urging passengers to stay updated on their flight statuses amid the blackout.

Public transport, particularly the Santiago Metro, has temporarily ceased operations due to the power failure. Images emerging from the city showcase stranded commuters leaving stations on foot, as escalators have stopped running and traffic lights failed, causing chaos on the roads. Commuters are facing long waits for any buses still in service, leaving many puzzled about how to make it home. Maria Angelica Roman, a local resident, expressed frustration, stating, "They let us leave work because of the power cut, but now I don't know how we will get home because all the buses are full."

Chile's Interior Minister, Carolina Toha, acknowledged the situation on social media, announcing that a meeting would convene to discuss strategies for restoring power. SENAPRED confirmed that appealing to local electricity companies is underway, although no emergency situations have been reported thus far, indicating a robust response to the unexpected crisis.
