Energy Supply Systems Remain a Priority.

The recovery of the National Electrical System is progressing slowly, and electricity generation levels remain low, continuing to impact service in the province of Matanzas.

The recovery of the National Power System is progressing slowly, and electricity generation levels remain low, continuing to impact service in Matanzas province.

Given this situation, the strategy being implemented in the province involves temporarily shutting down circuits that supply power to hospitals in order to redirect electricity to areas with longer outages, explained Mario Sabines, First Secretary of the Party in the province.

According to Alejandro Rodríguez Azpeitia, director of the Matanzas Electric Company, some circuits have been without service since before the system failure. However, ensuring the electricity supply to water pumping systems, vital for the population, remains a priority.

The Antonio Guiteras Holmes Thermoelectric Power Plant is also expected to come online during the evening hours, which could partially improve the energy situation in the province.

Although some circuits associated with water pumping have been energized, the hours of service have been insufficient, and the supply remains limited.

According to Guillermo Cue, provincial director of Water and Sewerage, the water situation is complex throughout the province, especially in the higher elevations of Matanzas city and in several municipalities.

This is compounded by a fuel shortage, which hinders the transport of water trucks to the most affected communities.

During the situation analysis, Sabines Lorenzo emphasized the need to maintain direct communication with the delegates of the electoral districts in order to expedite responses to the problems facing the population.

For his part, Julio Hernández Sánchez, director of Medical Services, stressed the importance of ensuring the supply of sodium hypochlorite in pharmacies as a preventative measure for water disinfection given the supply difficulties.
