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]
