Cubans still cannot escape the dark abyss of blackouts, which is becoming increasingly deep and without any possibility of a solution, and this Saturday they are once again facing prolonged outages that will exceed 1,200 megawatts (MW).
"It is estimated that during peak hours there will be an availability of 2,099 MW and a maximum demand of 3,250 MW, resulting in a deficit of 1,151 MW. Therefore, if the expected conditions persist, a shortfall of 1,221 MW is forecasted during this time," reported the Unión Eléctrica de Cuba (UNE) on their social media.
On September 28, the day the Cuban regime celebrates the anniversary of the creation of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), the population of the island will fall victim to a double crime perpetrated by those rulers who, from the heights of power, do not suffer from blackouts in their mansions.
In addition to the lack of electricity, we must add the cloying and unbearable propaganda from the Palace celebrating the creation of the CDR, those organizations designed to promote snitching among neighbors, which has ended up being yet another institution of the totalitarian regime of Havana, bearing the misfortune of thousands of critical and discontented Cubans with the prevailing order.
Furthermore, the UNE acknowledged that "yesterday the service was affected due to a shortage of generating capacity 24 hours a day and it has remained throughout the early hours of today."
"The highest impact due to generation capacity deficit during peak hours was 1,218 MW at 8:40 PM, coinciding with peak hours. Additionally, 33 MW were affected by failures in the distribution network due to adverse weather conditions (Pinar del Rio: 7 MW, Artemisa: 8 MW, La Habana: 8 MW, and Cienfuegos: 10 MW)," specified the UNE.
The daily report from the state-owned company included a new development this Saturday amidst its catalog of misfortunes. In addition to the usual impacts on distributed generation due to lack of fuel, the day brings another unpleasant news: the lack of fuel also affects three floating power plants, known as "Turkish barges": those located in Havana Bay, in Santiago de Cuba Bay, and in the port of Mariel.
