TheCentral Thermoelectric Antonio Guiteras, from Matanzas, joined the National Electro-energetic System (SEN) this Monday, but Cubans assure that this has not led to an improvement in services.
Engineer Lázaro Guerra, technical director of the Electrical Union of Cuba (UNE), acknowledged that the effects on Monday were considerably high and warns that things will not improve this Tuesday.
The Mariel CTE and the floating plants are out of service due to lack of fuel and the same is true of Moa and the Santiago floating plant. "We only have the floating power plants in Havana generating," commented the engineer.
"At this moment, a ship that is delivering fuel to Mariel and the floating plants and another to Moa is in the process of unloading," added the technical director. However, it is not confirmed that all of these plants will be operational this Tuesday.
Theblackouts continue in Cuba and schedules similar to those that occurred during the 17 days that the CTE Guiteras was out of service for repairs are reported.
Theelectricity service cuts in Cuba They are between 12 and 18 hours a day in many territories. This is what more than 200 Cubans have left in their testimonies on the social networks ofCyberCuba.
"In Guantánamo it is worse. We are the ones who save the most. It cannot be that the leaders stand before a camera to say that the electrical system is going to improve because Guiteras enters the SEN and that we remain the same or worse. (...) No There is awareness on the part of those who direct us. They ask us enough to resist. Until when?" commented one user.
"In the Oscar Lucero community of Holguín the blackouts have been from 12 to 15 hours and during times when one arrives from work or in the case of students they go to school. This situation is tremendous," commented another person.
"And Guiteras has already come in? I hadn't noticed. It's gotten worse here. It's been 18 and 19 hours without power. What we have in Holguín is like lights," commented another follower.
The Cuban government warned this Monday that the entry intooperation of the CTE Guiteras It would not solve the problem of blackouts in the country. They pointed out that they have a high generation deficit and that there is a fuel crisis.
The discomfort that the population suffers from blackouts goes beyond not having light to carry out daily activities. Without electrical service, buildings are left without water and you cannot cook, wash clothes, or even flush a toilet.
Many families cannot prepare their food, because they only have electric cookers. The little food people have runs the risk of being damaged by the heat in Cuba.
Those who suffer the blackout in Cuba cannot even sleep, because mosquitoes are a plague spread throughout the country and do not give a minute of peace. The inability to rest is, as the days go by, a torture that generates more and more physical and emotional discomfort in people.
