In Santiago de Cuba, workers from the Electric Company "actively participated" in the construction of the Las Guásimas Photovoltaic Solar Park, a key project for renewable energy generation in the province, the entity explained this Tuesday.
As part of the preparatory work before the installation of the solar panels, the workers were "actively" engaged in sorting nuts and washers, which are necessary for assembling the metal structures that will support the photovoltaic modules.
The Electric Company of Santiago de Cuba emphasized on its social media the “great importance” of this work, highlighting the commitment of its employees in the context of a national energy crisis.
Your publication is part of a large propaganda effort by the Cuban regime, which has found in the installation of photovoltaic panels a new distracting element to divert attention from a crisis that is worsening amid the government's paralysis and inability.
Does the classification of screws displayed by the state-owned company form part of a standardized process in the installation of solar parks?
In photovoltaic energy projects, the installation of solar panels follows highly mechanized and planned procedures. Manufacturers and suppliers typically deliver the components, including screws and supports, organized and ready for assembly.
Under normal circumstances, specialized contractors handle these supplies efficiently without the need to allocate labor for the manual sorting of basic parts such as nuts and washers.
The fact that workers from the Electric Company must carry out this type of task suggests a deficit in the logistical planning of the project or a deterioration of the construction processes, which could slow down rather than expedite the implementation of the solar park.
In November, the Electric Company of Holguín organized a classification day for screws for the CORUA solar park, amidst a situation of blackouts exceeding 15 hours daily.
The bizarre initiative was also announced on the social media of the state-owned company, which suggests it is a propaganda maneuver and a way for the regime to provide justifications for delays and failures in the implementation of its renewable energy strategy.
Propaganda in the midst of the energy crisis?
The social media post by the Electric Company of Santiago de Cuba seems to align with a propaganda effort by the regime to demonstrate activity and commitment to renewable sources, despite the chronic energy crisis facing the island.
These types of publications have become common during times when the population suffers from prolonged blackouts and the national power grid collapses due to the obsolescence of thermoelectric plants and a lack of investment in infrastructure.
Additionally, recent news has revealed the theft of pieces in solar parks, which could explain the need for additional controls in materials management.
However, instead of acknowledging the structural problems in the execution of these projects, the official narrative focuses on showcasing the "dedication and sacrifice" of the electrical workers as a partial solution to the issue.
The promotion of this activity as a significant achievement suggests an attempt to divert attention from the structural problems of the Cuban electrical system and to present symbolic progress in a context of crisis.
