The energy situation continues to deteriorate in Cuba. In the case of Sancti Spíritus, the general director of the provincial electricity company, Roberto Hernández Rojas, spoke to a local radio station.
"The impacts due to a generation deficit have worsened. For most of the day, we are at maximum shutdown capacity, meaning all circuits are shut down, with only vital services, which are protected, operating." said.
Currently, the province is under what has been termed "maximum shut-off," a situation in which there is no rotation between circuits, and only circuits supplying essential services remain energized.
The company announced via its Telegram channel that, due to the high generation deficit nationwide, it is not possible to specify a time for service restoration. "Once it is restored, service will be available for between 1 and 2 hours," they warn.
Regarding forecasts, the Cuban official stated that "the Guiteras CTE is expected to arrive on Saturday and should be helpful; the Céspedes CTE is expected to arrive in the coming days." However, regarding rumors about the arrival of a fuel ship from Mexico or Russia, he was clear: "I have no knowledge of that."
Blackouts of 14 or 15 hours a day for one hour of power
Meanwhile, power outages exceed 14 or 15 hours a day in that territory, in some cases resulting in only an hour and a half of power. Exhausted and frustrated residents are expressing their discontent on social media.
User F. Martínez wrote: "I don't know what they mean when they say improvements, we've been dealing with this for a while." Meanwhile, D. Bernal complained that "those of us who belong to circuit 117 are living a complete nightmare; we've been without power for entire nights. Right now, we've been out for 13 hours and nothing."
In smaller towns and villages, the situation is worse. N. Tamayo from Meneses, Iguará, and Jarahueca shared that "only an hour or so a day, and none at night. There's no time to even charge anything, let alone go online... it's too much."
