The Cuban Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy, stated that there has been an improvement in the electricity service, but the demand cannot be fully met due to a lack of fuels.
In statements quoted by the official platform Cubadebate, the official pointed out that with the completion of most of the scheduled maintenance, an improvement in the electrical service in the country is noted.
However, he clarified that "it is not always possible to cover peak hours due to the limitation of fuels to support the demand".
He also said that in the coming days, a ship will arrive in the country that will allow stabilizing the sale of liquefied gas to the population.
On the other hand, journalist José Miguel Solís reported on his Facebook page that the Antonio Guiteras power station, the largest in the country, is undergoing maintenance after a fire in a fuel storage facility a few days ago.
The engineers are trying to "consolidate the stability of the industry at 260 megawatts, complete the installation of a new feed pump, and finish draining the damaged tank," explained.
Engineer Roman Pérez Castañeda, technical deputy director of the largest unitary block on the island, said that the burned deposit will be repaired.
Amid the fuel and electricity generation crisis on the island, the regime announced that it will restrict the importation of high-consumption appliances to legal entities on the island and for commercial purposes.
For these purposes, the National Office for the Control of the Rational Use of Energy (Onure) is preparing a new resolution, following two others in effect since 2021 (No. 235 and 236), to ban the entry of goods with high specific electricity consumption, as reported by the official newspaper Granma last week.
