HAVANA, June 12 - Department of State Security officials have been
interrogating workers at a Havana power plant after a blackout May 20 left wide
sections of the city in darkness.
According to some here, the blackout was one of the largest in the city's
history, leaving 10 municipalities, including commercial and residential areas,
within the city without power.
Presumably the blackout was due to operating problems at the Otto Parellada,
or Tallapiedra power plant, near Havana bay.
State Security has been talking to administrators and engineers, work
brigades, and even the custodians and watchmen in pursuit of its investigation.
In the last major incident at the plant, in 1996, a problem in the boilers
led to an oil leak and a major fire, which caused 40,000 to be evacuated from
their homes and several schools.
