The Electric Company of Havana reported that at 4:01 PM on this Monday, the Electrical System in the capital of Cuba was restored, although it admitted that there are some faults in several municipalities.
On Facebook, the entity pointed out that so far, identified issues include the failure of an underground cable in Santa Fe, Playa municipality, where load is being transferred; a broken conductor at the intersection of Camagüey and Boyeros streets in Cerro; and another underground cable that affects Dragones, Manríquez, San Nicolás, Virtudes, San Lázaro, and Campanario streets in Centro Habana.
In addition, work is ongoing to repair an underground cable in the Camilo Cienfuegos neighborhood, in the municipality of Habana del Este, which has left several buildings without electricity.
The Electric Company reported that the system has recorded a total of 20 complaints: one in Diez de Octubre, another in Plaza, seven in Centro Habana and Habana Vieja, and 11 in Habana del Este.
The note specified that efforts are being made to restore electrical service in the affected areas as quickly as possible.
Hours earlier, the Antonio Guiteras Thermal Power Plant (CTE) in the province of Matanzas was back online, according to a brief message from the Cuban Electric Company.
The process is in sync with the information previously provided by the Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de La O Levy, who said to the Presidency of Cuba that this power unit would start operating on the afternoon of this Monday.
"Starting at around two in the afternoon, there will be another significant improvement, because then we will begin working with the CTE Antonio Guiteras, which is ready and waiting for the order to proceed slowly," said Levy in statements to the government portal.
On their Telegram channels, the electrical companies of Mayabeque and Artemisa reported that they continue to work to restore electricity service in their respective territories.
The one in Artemisa restored service in the Baracoa circuit at 6:08 pm. For its part, the Electric Company of Mayabeque reported that during the day "service has been provided at some point of the day to most of the circuits in the province."
However, the reality experienced in other parts of Cuba is completely different.
In Santiago de Cuba, after the service was restored in 14 circuits, some completely and others partially, just an hour later the Electric Company reported that, due to a sudden increase in demand, a new instability in the system was generated, resulting in another service interruption in all of them.
Two microsystems in the province of Holguín were affected during the passage of tropical storm Oscar through that eastern territory, according to the authorities of that province.
"Due to the weather conditions, 2 microsystems were lost, from the municipalities of Moa and Holguín respectively, and efforts will be made to recover them as soon as the weather allows," stated a report from the local newspaper Ahora, which covers the situation in the province following the passage of Oscar.
