Recently, a ship carrying fuel destined to power floating power plants arrived in Havana Bay.
This was confirmed on the morning of Tuesday, May 13, by engineer Lázaro Guerra Hernández, general director of Electricity of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, during his intervention in the broadcast of the program Good Morning, transmitted from the headquarters of the Electric Union.
"The ship arrived yesterday as planned and the boats are already being loaded with fuel to power the floating power plants here in Havana Bay," said Guerra Hernández. He also explained that, thanks to this operation, "during the course of the day, thecupgeneration at this plant,” which represents a big difference compared to the previous day.
The largest-capacity floating plant located in Havana is expected to be commissioned during the day. "When the largest-capacity mobile plant is commissioned in Havana Bay, the improvement will undoubtedly be felt. Service disruptions will be reduced due to the increase in generating capacity," the executive added.
It is also anticipated that the other floating plant, located in Regla, could be added to the electrical system during the night, once the logistics of fuel supply have been resolved. This will provide acuptotal generation of approximately 240 megawatts (MW) for the national electrical system - 180 MW in the major section and 60 MW in the Regla section.
The deficit in generation capacity persists
Although the deficit in generating capacity persists, authorities assured that the impact on Tuesday will be less than that recorded the previous day. "We are expecting the impact to be less than yesterday, since we are going to renewcuperate the Havana Bay and fuel distribution will also be carried out in distributed generation,” said Guerra.
In this regard, the official emphasized the logistical complexity involved in transporting fuel within Cuba. "These logistics are quite complex. They involve maritime, rail, and road transport to deliver the available fuel to each of the sites that contribute to distributed generation," he explained.
The recupThe gradual erasure of these capacities will contribute to improving the stability of the national electricity system. However, authorities reiterated that the overall deficit persists.

Only for Havana, the others who are suffering without electricity, without water and without food, dead from sleep all day long, it seems that what there is on the streets are zombies, the bodies are already exhausted. Everything for Havana, haha, how beautiful.
The information they give about the current is always the same plants in breakdowns and maintenance. If there is no fuel they stop them all. And every time a ship arrives it is for the privileged citizens of Havana who do not receive blackouts. The solar panels that are connected are for the national system and the current is for Havana. Here in Pinar del Río, for Los Carneros, the blackouts last more than 24 hours and nobody cares.
What seems very bad to me is the poor distribution of blackouts in the provinces, for example in Herradura, which is part of the Consolación Pinar municipality, the blackouts are up to 23 hours or more. I have seen it with my family who visit them often, it is criminal and however, my other part of the family lives in Santa Cruz San Cristobal Artemisia, at least it is 4×4 or 5×5 hours and people plan and can cook and wash mainly, but it seems to me that what is given in the part given in the morning magazine by Lázaro Guerra is not complied with, the situation in those towns of our great Mijail López Herradura is very difficult and sad and it is not one day they have been with the same situation for months, they should analyze with those responsible for that activity in the provinces and have stricter control so that the planning given at the national level by the Electrical System is complied with whenever possible, I would appreciate it if you actually read the comments.
A fuel ship, but for whom? Only for Havana because the other provinces don't exist. If they were to divide the damn deficit across the entire country, it would be a different story. But no, it seems they are afraid of the reaction of the Havanans when they have more than 4 hours without electricity. I imagine what would happen if they were given the thirty-something that they give us here in Pinar del Río. The big question is where is the damn equality that Fidel referred to in the concept of revolution?
Everything Lazarus says is a lie. Today, Wednesday, there is less affectation than theuneYes, on Tuesday, the blackouts here in the General Benítez circuit in Manzanillo are 2:14 hours long. They are liars deceiving the people.
Circuit is written with a C. (Circuit)

hahahaha no improvement now I've been in blackout since 3 in the afternoon, those Havana gangs don't benefit us, I'm from Artemisa
In Buey Arriba, Granma, the power outages last 18 hours or more. I don't know what improvements they're talking about. You can't even watch the news because we even lose cell phone coverage.
I don't know what the current situation is like, whether the deficit is large or small, they give us an hour or two and take away up to 14 hours. I don't know if what is reported is true or not. What I do know is that lies make people fat, and right now if they fall, they roll.

The children of the town of Avocado wake up early in Mayabeque and haven't gone to school for 10 days because the blackouts are miles long, from 6 pm to 8 or 9 am. What child is going to go to school after spending all night with mosquitoes and heat and without bread for a snack? They haven't given bread in the stores for about 20 days and on the street they sell bags of bread every day for 300 pesos. Every year it's worse, they advance like a crab, backwards. After so many years of revolution it's been in free fall and the fat tycoons live their lives like millionaires.
I hope we rest from the blackout games until when, gentleman.
No improvement, I just came out of a 12-hour blackout.
The blackouts are going to get better, they're going to be darker, longer... and blacker than a toti's wings!!!
Hello, I'm from the east. This blackout is not enough for us in Holguin, specifically Gibara, 18 hours a day, this felt, guitar or all working, this is endurance, lol, it's not easy, brothers.
Comment, do you think it is possible to comment on the unmentionable?
They say it's improving! If it improves, it will only be in Havana; the other provinces will remain the same.
It needs to be real because otherwise so much information is useless. The fuel has arrived but the blackout planning continues. At least the thing about the night when they remove them will be believed when they demonstrate it in practice.
We in Mayabeque are better off than you, we have 4 hours of electricity.
improvement? I doubt it. We've been here for 8 hours now, and considering the blackout in Artemisa, I don't know what kind of improvement they're talking about...
Havana? And what about the country's blacked-out villages? When Guiteras came in, they said the blackouts would be reduced, and they haven't gone below 12 hours. Liars graduated with honors.
I think we are lost in the countryside, electricity is an evil that has no cure and in the eastern provinces there is no respect, there is no vision, they turn off the power whenever they want, the hours they want, there is no communication, you cannot work, you cannot get paid, it is a country without direction or direction.
,??????? Hopefully
Improve?
I understand that the country's energy situation is terrible and that there's no other option than blackouts. What I DON'T UNDERSTAND is the distribution of these blackouts. Let me explain. While there are provinces and municipalities that have scarce electricity, others don't suffer blackouts or only suffer only short periods. If the deficit were distributed equitably among all the country's provinces, the blackout times would be much shorter. As long as this inequality exists, it will always be an injustice.
I don't believe anything they say
He said there was an improvement in blackouts, not a decrease in them.
God willing 🙏🙏🙏 at least in Pinar del Rio this is unbearable. 20 or more hours of blackout and 2 or 3 of electricity. I think no one in the country is worse off than us.
Well Artemisa is similar to what those 20 hours are scattered 5x5 all day
We in Mayabeque are better off than you, we have 4 hours of electricity.
Don't believe it...in Cienfuegos we don't see the light from the lamps because of the huge blackouts.
improvement????🤔
