I think 4 or 5 are operating already. The daily demand is of 3000MW with a deficit of 1500MW, so the whole country never has had electricity at the same time for the last few months.

Leaving can be expensive and dangerous, more so if one does not have support on the other side. I have people that directly depend on me (little kids, elderly parents) and not just financially. Some people may say "you can help them better when you are out, send remittances, get them out too" but its just complicated.

Equip it with solar and a nice home office (maybe 10k tops).

Buy house nearby for parents.

Find struggling friends and help them.

Donate to some FOSS projects.
