The Electric Company of Havana announced on social media this Sunday that residents of the Cuban capital will face daily blackouts lasting four hours, a measure that will be in effect at least until November 3rd.
The entity announced via Facebook that the programming of power outages, due to a deficit in generation capacity, will start this Monday, October 28, and will continue until November 3, without specifying what will happen after that date.
In its publication, the company shared a table that shows a rotation of four blocks, where each will be affected by power outages on different days, so that only one will experience power cuts each day for four hours, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
Nevertheless, the entity stated that in emergency situations due to unexpected shutdowns of generating plants, another rotation would be carried out.
This alternative rotation would involve 12-hour blackouts, from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm, organized into three blocks that would alternate, ensuring that each day one of them would not experience interruptions in the electricity supply.
Last Thursday, the Electric Company of Havana announced in an informational note that "due to an emergency" blocks 1 and 2 of the capital would be shut down for four hours, and shared the blackout schedule in Havana from October 24 to 27.
In addition, the entity urged the population to "use electrical energy rationally in order to reduce consumption in the province, avoid overloads in the networks, and prevent service interruptions."
The Electric Union of Cuba forecasted a generation deficit affecting the National Electric System of up to 870 MW during the peak hour of 7:20 PM on Sunday, October 27, 2024.
The reported generation availability at 7:00 AM was 2,100 MW, while the demand was estimated at 2,000 MW, allowing for a morning without disruptions.
