The energy crisis in Cuba is felt more and more in all sectors of society. Summer is approaching and the situation, as it happened the previous year, does not seem to improve for the inhabitants of the Island. Blackouts and deficits everywhere is what is perceived and suffered day by day. In all provinces the picture is practically identical: cuts, consumption limits, etc. By the way, at the Sancti Spíritus plant a radical decision was made regarding the use of air conditioning equipment.

It turns out that the local authorities prohibited the use of air conditioners in all state centers. The novelty is that it will not be like in previous stages, at two moments during the day. Now, the limitation is total: they cannot be turned on during the entire working day.

Provincial Energy Council issued sentence

The bad news was announced by Yoanny Acosta Solenzar, director of the Electric Company in Sancti Spíritus. The Provincial Energy Council took action on the matter and did not wait another day to “dictate” the consumption limit.

The manager offered statements on the subject to the Escambray newspaper of that central province of Cuba. “A few weeks ago the use from eight to eleven in the morning had been approved. However, the situation of the National Electric System (SEN) worsened once more, with several generating units out of service.

The current measure only exempts centers where there is technological equipment that requires air conditioning. For example, computer server areas, circuit control boards or drug laboratories, among others.

Companies will not be able to keep their lights on unnecessarily. This is prohibited, both for the interior and exterior of state premises and entities.

Meanwhile, irrigation systems may not be used during peak hours. Finally, the industrial zone must have its refrigerators turned off at times of greatest consumption of the day.
