Cuban First Vice-president José Ramón Machado Ventura visited the site of a second set of oil-burning generators that are now under construction and slated to be operational before 2009.
During his visit today in Guantanamo City, Machado Ventura was explained that once the plant is synchronized with the national electric grid, the province will increase its generating capacity to 104.2 megawatts during peak hours, which is 24.2 megawatts more than today.
With the conclusion of this group of generators, the territory will complete its program of distributed generating established by the nation’s Energy Revolution Project, since there will be two fuel-oil and five diesel generators in the municipalities of Guantánamo, Baracoa, Yateras, Niceto Pérez and Maisí.
Generating units using fuel oil work around the clock, while those operating with diesel are used to make up for generating deficits during peak hours or emergencies.
The province also has 362 smaller generating units that guarantee the operating capacity of vital health and business facilities.
