What to expect from the electricity crisis in Cuba in the coming days? In a television appearance on Thursday night, the Cuban authorities of the Electrical Union (UNE) detailed the measures and what will happen in the midst of the critical situation.
The director of the Electrical Union, Alfredo López Valdés, reported on the current state of the electrical system in the country.
At the Rente plant, a machine is broken, but it is expected to come into operation this Friday. In addition, three units are undergoing planned maintenance.
The Guiteras and Felton power plants are not operating at maximum capacity, which will require short maintenance in the coming days. This would again affect the central electrical system.
The situation in the swamps and distributed generation sites has been affected by the lack of fuel.
Given this scenario, active work is being done on the installation of photovoltaic solar parks to increase the generation of renewable energy.
Will the electricity crisis in Cuba improve?
For his part, Edrey Rocha González, general director of CUPET, announced that the distribution of fuel will begin tomorrow evening for the ports in Mariel, Havana and Moa, after the improvement in weather conditions that have made docking difficult. ships in ports.
Currently, the ships remain in Matanzas Bay waiting for better conditions for fuel distribution.
As for diesel, 2 thousand tons per day will be distributed, which will allow most of the distributed generation groups to start up.
The absence of liquefied gas has increased electricity demand by more than 250 MW.
However, today the distribution of liquefied gas will begin in all territories of the country, and it will progressively reach more families, which will help reduce electricity consumption for cooking food.
Finally, specific plans will be implemented to regulate the increase in energy demand, including measures aimed at the non-state sector of the economy, they said.
