This Thursday, work was completed on the completion of the work on the superheaters to advance in the assembly of the new cooling system of the output transformer.

Thus, the remaining maintenance lines place the largest unitary block of the Island in the possibility of concluding the works this Sunday and being on line before Monday’s peak demand schedule.

Specialists consulted on the matter point out the possibility that after a natural period of stabilization of parameters, the Antonio Guiteras will be able to deliver between 270 and 280 MW, that is, 50 megawatts more than when the maintenance began.

This intervention also contemplated the testing of equipment and systems that will be repaired or replaced during the investment to be made in October, the largest to be made in the Yumurina industry in the last 14 years.
