According to Lázaro Guerra, Director General of Electricity at the Ministry of Energy and Mines, the recovery of the western region’s power, initially lost, is in progress. The Santa Cruz del Norte thermoelectric plant is starting up, and the Mariel plant will soon follow.  RELATED: Regional Microsystems Boost Electric Recovery in Cuba “We already have energy in Santa Cruz and will soon have energy in Mariel to start operations in this central, which is crucial for providing a stable base generation to the system,” said an energy sector spokesperson.

Lázaro Guerra reported delays at the Felton and Renté thermoelectric plants due to technical issues that are being resolved. Authorities are considering the Moa thermoelectric plant as a viable alternative.  President Miguel Diaz Canel personally visited the National Load Dispatch to oversee restoration efforts. “We continue in this process, working intensely and calmly to complete the restoration of the system as soon as possible,” stated the official. Currently, around 370 MW are being […]
