After some early mornings in which the Electric generation could cover the demand for a few hours, The blackouts have rejoined one day with the other in Cuba.
This happened this Wednesday, when The service was affected 24 hoursand Also throughout the morning Today, as confirmed Electric union (UNE).
The eight new solar parks exceeded 1000 MWh in the day, but this did not prevent the blackouts from being perpetuated and that The maximum affectation will reach the 1742 MW in the night peakabove The initially expected.
This time, the part of the UNE does not explain the reason for the overwhelming or points directly against the demand, although an aspect included in the report could explain it: The disconnection of unit 6 of the thermoelectric of Nuevitas.
That block was not yesterday among those reported outside the electrical system (SEN) due to breakdowns or maintenance, but today it is registered with a break, although The part does not need its scope or how long could it be disconnected For that reason.
At the moment, neither that unit, nor the other six that were also this morning outside the Sen must return to this day, according to the UNE. They will only A small group of fuel engines of those who currently do not work due to lack of fuel.
There are 69 distributed generation centrals (614 MW) that do not generate today for this reason, while the Fuel de Moa and Mariel centrals will stop producing 218 MW.
With this complex scenario, at 7:00 in the morning the generation barely arrived 1506 MW, while The affectation was 1094 MW.
By noon the deficit would continue to grow to reach 1250 MW, while At night peak the generation – even when it must increase with respect to the day – You can barely cover half of the demand (3400 MW), according to the official estimate.
Therefore, The affectation planned at that time will be 1701 MWwith what half of electricity consumers in Cuba will be dull simultaneously at that time, in another of the usual peaks of the prolonged energy crisis on the island.
