The new star of the Cuban regime, the Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy, continues to work tirelessly to prevent the definitive collapse of the national electroenergy system (SEN) before the country transitions to an energy matrix with a high presence of renewable energy sources.
Thus, in May, he moved to the Lidio Ramón Pérez Thermal Power Plant in Felton, Holguín, to supervise maintenance work and discover "22,000 tubes that need to be cleaned" in its condenser, which this Sunday is at the third International Fair of Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency in Havana, with his prepared speech on government strategies for the installation of solar panels.
The statements made by De la O Levy, like all those from the "continuity" government of Miguel Díaz-Canel, are a tribute to ignorance and indecency. A government that is held accountable in a show staged by State Security can afford the audacity that the ministers in the Palace allow themselves, who do not take responsibility for their management and mock the population.
The Cuban regime, the true power behind the Palace offices, wants and needs ministers like De la O Levy. Its project of eternal domination over the fate of Cubans requires officials like the minister of Energy and Mines, who does not flinch in the slightest when he says that the maintenance of thermoelectric plants is more complex than NASA launches, because they have 22,000 dirty pipes, the cleaning of which is a Herculean task.
But this Sunday, the minister who promised a minute of energy generated without imported fuels by 2025 looked the journalist who rocks the cradle (Bernardo Espinoza, who else) in the eye to make a new promise like a bubble of saliva: by 2030 (until then, he plans to remain in his office), the country will be able to produce 30% of the energy it consumes from renewable energy sources.
That is why the government is now making many "financial sacrifices," not only to pay for oil to its suppliers but also to buy parts, raw materials, and other inputs to keep its obsolete thermoelectric plants alive. Among those "financial sacrifices," De la O Levy highlights the one made to begin the energy transition in the country.
Producing 30% of energy from renewable sources is no easy task; it is another Herculean effort that requires hiring labor and a devilishly complex logistical management, because "there are many containers" to move to the Island.
“To give you an idea: there are millions of photovoltaic solar panels; there are hundreds of millions of screws, nuts, washers, steel structures, piles to drive... there are thousands and thousands of piles to drive...,” De la O Levy explained to Espinoza.
From the 22,000 tubes to the hundreds of millions of screws, Cubans will continue to wait for the day when blackouts are a thing of the past. The regime knows that this type of explanation, like the megawatts of "damages," is irrefutable for a indoctrinated and coerced people, so it will insist on its propaganda and repression.
Resolving the collapse of the SEN is not their priority; rather, it is about brainwashing and imprisoning. Cubans will experience blackouts day after day, but in the news, they will see that progress is being made in driving piles, tightening nuts, screws, and washers, and cleaning thousands of other pipes.
2025 will arrive, and there will be one minute of energy produced by renewable sources, and the mission will be to "start to fatten it up" until in 2030 there are 157,680 minutes (30% of renewable energy). Until then, Minister Vicente De la O Levy will not rest, supervising containers with millions of nuts and bolts, and lending a hand in cleaning tens of thousands of tubes.
