The entity assures that it is working to resolve the current difficulties as soon as possible.
High temperatures and energy demands are causing outages in the city's electrical distribution system.
Transformers removed from state entities to cover the emergency
The Havana Electric Company reported that, due to the shortage of distribution transformers and the growing demand for heat, power system failures are occurring. To address the situation, it has decided to temporarily remove transformers from state institutions, with the goal of relocating them to the most affected residential areas.
According to the company, this is a temporary solution while the damaged equipment is replaced. Once the transformer shortage is overcome, they will be reinstalled in their original locations, especially in government agencies.
Urgent call to save electricity
Due to the complexity of current energy conditions, authorities reiterated their call for rational use of electricity. This measure seeks to reduce overall consumption, prevent overheating of operating transformers, and reduce pressure on the national electricity system.
The electric company insisted that savings are key not only to stabilizing service, but also to preventing longer blackouts and additional structural damage.

They are asking for electricity savings. The level of blackouts the population has is not enough for them. When they have electricity, everyone has to be doing everything they stopped doing. People don't sleep, thinking about what time the blackout is so they can get up early to take care of their household needs. Others wash at dawn. If they have water, don't ask the people for more things that others have had to solve 65 years ago.
Only Havana is what interests them most, that they do not run out of electricity, that the other provinces are not left without a meteorite and end up destroying them, shut down all the time, enduring the blackouts that do not give to others until when

Increased consumption due in part to the lack of liquefied gas.
The authorities reiterated the call for rational use of electricity. I don't understand, and when you walk down the street, the streetlights are on 24 hours a day, at least in Guanabacoa. I don't know what the call to save is if they are the first to waste electricity.
In the functioning of a country everything is linked and actions must have an order that guarantees a good axiscucion.
Prioritizing the foundations of an efficient energy system was the first step before considering, for example, the expansion of the tourism industry, because without energy, that sector will never develop.
On July 11th, the need to guarantee the electricity supply should have been raised, as was the case with the Maleconazo.
The bad decisions that are constantly being made are independent of the blockade.
Of course!!!… If when they turn on the power after 4 or 5 hours of inactivity, thousands of refrigerators have to consume because they lose cold…
If Havana does not make rational use of energy and increases its demand, here in Pinar del Río, the 3 hours of electricity will drop to one or zero.
This is due to poor load balancing. Where there is more than one transformer, they leave only one behind, or install only one for a larger load. Cuba is characterized by high ambient temperatures. Transformers must have good cooling or, alternatively, greater electrical capacity to sustain the maximum load required by the neighborhood's private industry and its population.
This is like taking one saint's clothes to pay another. They should sell the Torre K hotel and use the money to buy transformers. This deteriorating electrical system situation should have been anticipated, not waited for it to become so critical.
Correct...no spending planning in this important sector...today the country's economy is paralyzed...so there can't be money to buy even a chambelona...now we are the ones to blame...
