The Electric Company of Havana reported that at 4:01 PM this Monday, the Electrical System in the capital of Cuba was restored, although it admitted that there are some breakdowns in several municipalities.
On Facebook, the entity pointed out that so far there are identified issues such as a failure of an underground cable in Santa Fe, Playa municipality, where load is being transferred; a broken conductor at the intersection of Camagüey and Boyeros streets, in Cerro; and another underground cable affecting Dragones, Manríquez, San Nicolás, Virtudes, San Lázaro, and Campanario streets, in Centro Habana.
Additionally, work is being done to repair an underground cable in the Camilo Cienfuegos neighborhood, in the municipality of Habana del Este, which has left several buildings without electricity.
Additionally, the Electric Company reported that the system has recorded a total of 20 complaints: one in Diez de Octubre, another in Plaza, seven in Centro Habana and Habana Vieja, and 11 in Habana del Este.
The note specified that efforts are being made to restore electrical service in the affected areas as quickly as possible.
Hours earlier, the Antonio Guiteras Thermoelectric Power Plant (CTE) in the province of Matanzas was back online, according to a brief message from the Cuban Electric Company.
The process is in sync with the information previously provided by the Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de La O Levy, who stated to the Presidency of Cuba that this power unit would start operating on the afternoon of this Monday.
"Starting around two in the afternoon, there will be another significant improvement, because then we will begin to work with the CTE Antonio Guiteras, which is ready, waiting for the order to proceed slowly," Levy said in statements to the government portal.
However, the reality experienced in other parts of Cuba is completely different.
In Santiago de Cuba, after service was restored in 14 circuits, some completely and others partially, just an hour later, the Electric Company reported that due to a sudden increase in demand, a new instability in the system was generated, resulting in another service outage in all of them.
Two microsystems in the province of Holguín were affected during the passage of tropical storm Oscar through that eastern territory, according to the authorities of that province.
"Due to the weather conditions, 2 microsystems were lost in the municipalities of Moa and Holguín respectively, and recovery efforts will begin as soon as the weather permits," noted a report from the local newspaper Ahora, which details the situation in the province following the passage of Oscar.
