The production and distribution of electricity is very capital-intensive.
Societies that don’t accumulate and protect capital won’t have electricity very long, if they ever have it.
Also, the maintenance of an electrical system requires very highly-trained people who possess skills that are useful in many places around the world and are always in demand.

Political cronies that don’t know anything probably were put in charge of the electricity just as they were the oil companies. And the farmers land was taken away and given to people that didn’t know how to farm, just like Zimbabwe.

And spare parts and supplies that must be purchased from industrialized countries with hard foreign currency instead of local billion dollar Bolivar monopoly certificates.
