HAVANA, Nov 13 (NNN-ACN) — The solution of all electrical damages caused by earthquakes in eastern Cuba, and the reconnection of the westernmost province of Pinar del Rio to the national electricity system (SEN) stand out among the advances in the recovery of the sector, after the recent natural phenomena in both sides of the country.
This was highlighted by the Government of Cuba, which on X updated on the results of the recovery work of the networks damaged in the west by Hurricane Rafael, last Wednesday.
Electricity service has been restored in Havana to 98.36 % of customers, and in Mayabeque to 93.12%, according to the information.
According to the Cuban Government, in Artemisa, the most damaged province, more than 5,000 customers are already receiving electricity.
Today it was also reported that it was possible to link Pinar del Rio with the SEN through two 110 kilovolt (kv) lines, south and north, after almost a week in which the province remained disconnected due to the severe damages caused by the hurricane to Artemisa’s electric infrastructure.
Likewise, the damages in the electricity networks caused by the earthquakes that occurred on Sunday in eastern Cuba, which affected some 14,360 electric clients in six municipalities in Granma province, were solved.
In a report by Canal Caribe this morning, engineer Lazaro Guerra, Director of Electricity of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, said that at this moment the SEN is operating in a stable condition. — NNN-ACN
