Madrid Spain.- The Cuban Electric Union (UNE) reported this Wednesday afternoon that the Antonio Maceo (Renté) thermoelectric power plants (CTE), in Santiago de Cuba, and Antonio Guiteras, in Matanzas, two of the main ones in the country, left the National Electric System (SEN).
In brief notes shared on Facebook, with a space of only one hour between one and the other, the entity indicated that in the case of I rented it was due to a leak in the boiler; while in the guiteras to lack of water.
The station from Matanzas radius 26 When offering more details, he pointed out that as a result of contamination and a decrease in the flow of raw water to the yumurino block after valve manipulation operations at the Matanzas supertanker base, CTE Antonio Guiteras interrupted generation.
“The water level was insufficient to adjust the necessary demineralization treatment to the demands of the industry, which required around 60 cubic meters per hour,” Radio 26 said.
On Monday the CTE Antonio Guiteras was also out of the SEN due to lack of fuel. Only 17 minutes after its reset, on Tuesday, the authorities returned to report another failure for “unknown causes”.
Cubans react in networks after the recent breakages of thermoelectric plants
Faced with the new announcement of the departure of Antonio Guiteras y Rente from the SEN, Cubans have not been slow to express their discontent through comments in the publications.
“Respect each other and do not pronounce yourself on the networks. That every day there is a problem does not speak well of his work, “said user Yadida Barthelemy.
“Please, do not play anymore with the stability of your clients, of the people. Do not announce any more that X unit, X thermoelectric, was incorporated into the National Electric System and then announce that they left again. Today the entry of Guiteras and Unit No. 6 of Antonio Maceo was announced… And look… Once again out of the system. If they are not in conditions do not announce it. The people deserve respect,” said Adaymis Domínguez Martínez.
While Lindomar Acosta Pérez wrote: “Apparently nothing they do in those units is useful, because they don’t work a day.”
Due to the repeated breakdowns of the thermoelectric plants and the generation deficit, the regime has been subjecting the town to extensive blackouts for months. To show their discontent with this increasingly unsustainable situation, Cubans have taken to the streets in recent months. Such was the case of the demonstration in Holguin at the beginning of this week, and the one that occurred last July in Los Palacios, Pinar del Río.
