With the untimely output of Unit one from Felton’s thermoelectric plant, the deficit of Electric generation It will touch the 2000 MW during the peak schedule on Saturday, according to the Electric Union (UNE).
Regarding the breakdown, it occurred in a transformer for the use of the plant, according to reported The journalist Emilio Rodríguez Pupo on Facebook, from where he assured that “during the next 20 days they will execute scheduled maintenance (…) with emphasis on the correction of the detected breakdown, cleaning and condenser cleaning.”
UNE emphasizes in its part today that there are six units of generation damaged, including units 1 and 2 of Felton. But the situation remains bad, because there are also three units in maintenance, adding thermoelectric plants such as Santa Cruz and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes in Cienfuegos.
In case it was not enough, thermal limitations remain 310 MW; The problems due to lack of fuel, 197 MW, and the lack of lubricants 450 MW.
On Friday, according to UNE, there were effects at the service during the 24 hours and remained affected throughout the morning of today.
“The maximum affectation due to generation capacity deficit yesterday was 1861 MW at 8:20 p.m., coinciding with the time of maximum demand and higher than what is planned for not entering Unit 3 of CTE Santa Cruz.”
In addition, he adds that “the energy production of the 28 new photovoltaic solar parks was 2380 MWh, with 494 MW as maximum power delivered at the average schedule with this generation source.”
Meanwhile, for the peak schedule on Saturday, the 50 MW entry into distributed generation engines “that are out of fuel” estimates.
In addition, it warns the entrance of Unit 3 of the Santa Cruz CTE, with 60 MW (in the process of starting) and the entrance of Unit 3 of CTE Cienfuegos, with 150 MW (in the process of starting).
Energy crisis: availability continues to fall and the affectation is approaching 2000 MW
With this prognosis, and if these units started, at the peak schedule an availability of 1665 MW is estimated before a maximum demand of 3500 MW, which will leave a deficit of 1835 MW.
“If the planned conditions are maintained, a 1905 MW affectation is forecast at this time,” says the UNE.
