Cuba: Electric Union Launches Urgent Measures on Restoring the National Electric System
Cuban authorities announced that the Energás plant, located in the province of Mayabeque, is generating electricity intended for the Santa Cruz del Norte Thermoelectric Plant. This initiative is part of efforts to address the electrical crisis following the disconnection of the National Electric System caused by the shutdown of the Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric plant.
Additionally, the Communist Party of Cuba’s account on X highlighted that “thousands of Cuban men and women are working tirelessly to restore service, a process that began at the Energás Plant in Puerto Escondido, which is already producing electricity to integrate with the thermoelectric plants.”
According to officials, the provinces of Villa Clara, Granma, Holguín, and Guantánamo have micro-generation systems that allow them to supply energy to the thermoelectric plants and activate units in Cienfuegos, Nuevitas (Camagüey), and Santiago de Cuba.
The island’s government emphasizes that the recovery of the national electric system is in its early stages, but efforts continue for its complete restoration. “We are working methodically and safely to avoid setbacks and achieve a total restoration of the system,” stated the Communist Party’s account.
In a subsequent news report by the same account, it was stated that “the Cuban Aviation Corporation (Cacsa) reports that the facilities, services, and systems of the country’s ten international airports have energy backup to ensure all services for the aircraft”.
