Cuba: The Ministry of Energy and Mines Reports that a Few Minutes Ago Another Disconnection of the Electric System Occurred

The General Director of the National Cargo Office of SEN, Engineer Félix Estrada Rodríguez, announced that following the recent connection of the electrical system between Artemisa and Holguín, a failure in the 110kV line in the central region caused a service outage.

In response, measures are being implemented to restore the system through Energas, creating a link that will extend from Mayabeque to Artemisa, including Havana.

Estrada detailed that “islands” of electricity are being established in various provinces, such as Matanzas-Cienfuegos-Villa Clara and Ciego de Ávila-Sancti Spíritus, as an estrategy to facilitate distributed generation and improve system stability.

Work is underway to recover #SEN after the total disconnection. Generation islands are created and production is reorganized to guarantee service in several provinces, reported Felix Estrada Rodriguez, director of the National Load Dispatch of the @OSDE_UNE

Currently, isolated systems are operating in Granma, Santiago de Cuba, and Guantánamo, while work is underway on an additional microsystem in the central part of the country.

The engineer warned about the need to regulate the frequencies of the electrical system to minimize future disruptions.

 Despite the challenges, essential services are being guaranteed through distributed generation, and efforts are being made to ensure that the restoration of the system progresses with the support of trained specialists across the territory.

 The situation remains complex, but significant efforts are underway to restore electrical service as soon as possible.
