What CGE confirms about the repair work
The CGE statement identifies Camino Las Rastras as a location where crews are repairing electricity infrastructure damaged by the storm. Its publication time is an update timestamp, rather than a verified start time for the interruption. The statement does not give a customer total for the street or establish that every part of Talca lost supply.
Repair activity also does not establish that electricity has returned. The available evidence does not include a fresh confirmation that the Camino Las Rastras work is finished. A completion time remains unknown, and the repair notice should not be read as a restoration deadline.

Regional figures describe an earlier, wider snapshot
T13, citing SEC, reports 41,169 customers without electricity across Maule at 17:00 on 26 October. That figure describes the region at the stated time. It is neither a count for Camino Las Rastras nor a current estimate of how many customers remain disconnected there.
The regional report supplies context for the storm disruption, while CGE’s statement identifies the local repair work. Those different scopes must remain separate. Restoration announcements for other Talca streets cannot establish that this location has been reconnected without evidence linking the faults. No full-city or regional all-clear is established by these notices.
