The Empresa Electrificadora de Santander (ESSA) said it will install equipment to strengthen electrical service in a rural area of Floridablanca, Colombia, which will cause scheduled power outages in eight municipalities of the Santander department on Wednesday, September 2 and Friday, September 4. [1] The Nueva Licorera de Boyacá began producing alcoholic beverages for the Santander department under a contract of manufacture that covers the years 2026 and 2027. [2] ESSA said it will perform two brief power interruptions of about 30 minutes each on Wednesday, September 2 and Friday, September 4, in municipalities including Bucaramanga, Floridablanca, Piedecuesta, Charta, Guaca, Santa Bárbara, Silos, and Tona, affecting numerous veredas such as Retiro Grande Acueducto, San José, and others. [3] ESSA stated that on Friday, September 4, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., there will be a partial power outage in sectors of the Aguablanca and Helechales veredas in Floridablanca and the Retiro Chiquito vereda in Bucaramanga, Colombia. [4] The agreement initially has a duration of two years, with a goal to produce one million bottles during that period, though extension is possible based on market performance. [5] The contract specifies that the Santander department provides the product formulas, while the Nueva Licorera de Boyacá is responsible for the manufacturing and bottling processes. [6] William Vargas, the manager of the entity, stated that the first batch of 180,000 bottles of Ron Comunera and Aguardiente Comunero has been sent to Santander. [7]

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world2 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
