The state Electrical Union (UNE) has seized on the “enemies” of the regime’s propaganda to announce blackouts in Cuba which are supposed to reduce in the summer and complain about “scarce resources” to now solve the thermal generation deficit.
“As has been reported, in these months from January to June, maintenance activities at thermal, energy and distributed generation plants increase with the purpose of reaching the months of greatest electricity consumption and demand, which are July and Augustmonths, in addition, of the population’s rest,” declared the UNE in a note on its Facebook profile in which it leaves in the air what this arrival will be like.
The company justified that currently, as planned Felton unit maintenance for 25 days “The effects on the electrical service have increased by having to limit some thermal generation unitsan activity that was not planned, for cleaning and repairing some of its parts due to unforeseen events based on the technical state in which they are found.
“Compliance with the maintenance plan is forecast until the last days of June and to be able to have a summer with the minimum of effects,” added the note, which He nevertheless predicted blackouts “if there are some unforeseen outages of generation units.”
“The staff of the Unión Eléctrica work tirelessly with the scarce resources they have due to the difficult financial situation caused by the strict restrictions imposed on us by our enemies, maintaining our generation units,” concluded the UNE.
Cubans, fed up with the justifications of the authorities and suffering prolonged blackouts especially in the provinces outside Havanathey do not remain silent in the face of the disaster of the electro-energy system.
On Wednesday, the funeral home in the town of San Antonio de Cabezas, in the Matanzas municipality of Unión de Reyes, woke up with several signs painted as a sign of protest.
“Zero blackouts, more food, don’t pay electricity”was one of the messages left on the walls, whose images were published by journalist Mario J. Pentón on Facebook.
In the same official information from the UNE, Blanca Rosa Barrios Esquivel wrote: “I am crazy to see a single minister, just one, who can say that his functions of office and the objectives of his work content are fulfilled! “I, who am 64 years old and a retired teacher, feel sorry for your incompetence!”
Miledys Berro added: “How come the strict restrictions of your enemies are not preventing construction, expansions and remodeling of more hotels? Respect your countrymen and respect yourselves!”
“I’m going to save this post to show you in the summer story. UNE, as you have learned from the teacher,” said Emil Thiago Jhon.
Alex Barroso Amestoy added: “They have more faith than the Pope. If now they are 12 hours a day and more blackouts, in July and August I don’t want to see them. Of course, less Havana.”
DIARIO DE CUBA confirmed that in some areas of the city of Holguín there were barely three hours of electrical service between 6:00PM on Monday and 6:00AM on Tuesday.
