Millions of people in a cube are left without electricity due to a malfunction at the country’s main CHP.
According to local media, the accident that occurred on October 18 at the Antonio Giteres thermal power station in the city of Matansas has de -energized almost the whole country.
The authorities reported that after hard work, electricity had already begun to enter some regions of the country, in particular to the capital, the city of Havana. However, 80 percent of the country still remain without electricity, and in some cities the shutdown has been continuing for more than 30 hours.
On the frames common in social networks, it is clear that the international airport Jose Marty in Havana is immersed in complete darkness.
Representatives of the energy sector held a meeting chaired by President Cuba Miguel Dias-Kanel to evaluate further steps to eliminate interruptions in the supply of electricity throughout the country.
In a cube, there are often shutdown of electricity due to malfunctions at power plants.
According to local media, problems are repeated due to improper service of power plants built by the former Soviet Union 40 years ago.
According to the Ministry of Energy and Mining, the country annually consumes 8 million tons of fuel, of which only 3 million tons falls on domestic production.
Due to the economic embargo of Cuba, it provides most of its energy needs from Venezuela, Russia and Mexico.
In recent years, the Cuban government began to rent floating power plants to prevent interruptions in the supply of electricity and increase production capacities.
