Blackouts will continue in central Cuba
CIENFUEGOS, Cuba, September 20 (Marvin
Hernández Monzón, Cuba Press
/ www.cubanet.org) - Rolling blackouts will
continue through the central Cuban provinces,
according to an announcement in the government
press.
The blackouts, an average of 40 to 50 hours
a week since May, were supposedly due to
the largest electrical generating plant
in the country, the Antonio Guiteras, being
taken out of the grid for maintenance. Now
authorities say even though the Antonio
Guiteras is back on line, other plants will
be taken out of the grid for maintenance
themselves.
Typically, authorities cut off the electricity
after 7 in the evening until after midnight,
and again at about 6 in the morning until
4 in the afternoon. Sometimes they blackout
the residential sectors and maintain the
street lights on.
