Still, the outage has led to millions of dollars in losses due to lost productivity, he said.
Electricity went off in many parts of the country at 5 p.m. local time (2100 GMT) Thursday, March 7, and has been intermittently restored to certain areas.
Officials continue to work to restore power, Maduro posted to Twitter.
"We have defeated coups d'etat, oil sabotage, violent rioters and attacks on our sovereignty, and rest assured we are going to defeat the electricity war," said Maduro.
Caracas, the capital, was generally calm despite more than three days without electricity and now a diminishing water supply, as a result of the power failure. There were few people and vehicles in the streets, mainly due to the government's decision to close schools and government offices.
Caracas residents enjoyed a few hours of electricity until a blast early Monday morning at an electrical substation in central Miranda state knocked the power out again.
According to Miranda Governor Hector Rodriguez, electricity was back on in 80 percent of the state, "however, the system is still unstable."
He urged people to continue to take precautionary measures.
