Havana, Dec 18 (Prensa Latina) Prime Minister Manuel Marrero stated that Cuban authorities are working diligently to recover the National Power Grid. V During his address, he highlighted that $1.15 billion has been allocated, despite challenging financial conditions.

This has allowed for the recovery of 422 MW in distributed generation, bringing the total to over 1,000 MW, and an additional 228 MW in centralized generation.

Furthermore, 778 MW have been synchronized with the installation of 41 photovoltaic solar parks, which are producing more than 30 percent of the country’s total generation during peak sunlight hours.

“Despite the work done, the situation of the national power system remains very complex, with an average daily deficit of 1,500 to 1,700 MW.

In recent days, the deficit has exceeded 2,000 MW, causing service disruptions 24 hours a day, exacerbating public discontent and damaging the economy,” he noted.

He also added that the deficit is mainly due to the instability of electricity generation and the lack of fuel for distributed generation, with approximately 1,000 MW of capacity unavailable for this reason.
