Apagón en Cuba: el Gobierno comenzó los trabajos para que la principal central vuelva a generar electricidad

Published

on



Las autoridades cubanas confirmaron este sábado que comenzaron las labores para iniciar la central termoeléctrica terrestre (CTE) Antonio Guiteras, la principal del país, cuya salida del sistema eléctrico nacional hace más de 24 horas provocó un apagón total en la isla.

“Concluidos los trabajos en CTE Guiteras, comienzan las labores de arranque para sincronizar hoy y robustecer el sistema (electroenergético nacional)”, apuntó en sus redes sociales la gobernación de la provincia de Matanzas (oeste), donde está ubicada esa central.

Cuba quedó a oscuras completamente el viernes tras la salida “imprevista” de esta CTE del Sistema Eléctrico Nacional (SEN) por una avería. Luego de recuperar algunas zonas aisladas, el país volvió a apagarse por una falla en el proceso de recuperación del SEN este sábado por la mañana.

La empresa estatal Unión Eléctrica (UNE) informó, no obstante, que la energía eléctrica se fue recuperando en zonas muy puntuales de La Habana y otras provincias cubanas.

«El sistema colapsó, o sea, está en cero total desde esa hora», había dicho el viernes Lázaro Guerra, director general de Electricidad del Ministerio de Energía y Minas.

Las causas de la actual crisis energética son la escasez de combustible importado -fruto de la falta de divisas- para surtir los motores y plantas eléctricas, y las reiteradas averías en sus obsoletas centrales termoeléctricas, acorde con la UNE.

El país consume 8 millones de toneladas de combustibles anuales, de las que solo produce tres millones, según datos del Ministerio de Energía y Minas.

La isla cuenta actualmente con siete CTE de factura soviética -construidas hace más de cuatro décadas y afectadas por un déficit crónico de inversión-, con un total de 20 unidades de generación (siete de ellas estaban en los últimos días paradas por averías y mantenimientos).

Como resultado, en los últimos años los apagones se han vuelto moneda corriente. El Gobierno cubano ha rentado en los últimos años varias centrales eléctricas flotantes para atenuar la falta de capacidad de generación.
