00:52Hello, welcome to From the South, I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters in Caracas, Venezuela.
00:56We'll be with the news, stay with us.
01:13Thank you for the actions for the re-establishment of the national electric power, the systems
01:16are progressing after a second total disconnection due to the breakdown in the west of the country.
01:21According to this statement made by Lázaro Guerra, General Director of the Electricity
01:27of the Ministry of the Energy and Mines, there are already generation levels in some thermoelectric
01:34plants such as Santa Cruz, there are already low levels in Mariel, the start-up process
01:40has begun in Revitas, CamagĂĽey and the Higueras plant.
01:44It is also expected that capacity will continue to increase when the thermographic plant and
01:50the floating plant of Mariel are joined.
01:53He explains that there are already 370 megawatts of service in the country, mainly in the province
02:00of Mayabeque and in areas of the capital, while the micro-systems in the center of the
02:06country are the most stable.
02:08Engineer Guerra explained that there is no pre-terminate time period for recovery, although
02:15there is already a full supply plant for electricity generation.
02:20We are still looking for alternatives with the displacement of the MOA to also have the
02:29possibility of reaching Felton.
02:31Felton is not available at the moment.
02:34We have had a situation in the thermoelectric plant of Cienfuegos, since the system failure
02:39occurred.
02:40It is unavailable and we cannot count on it, but Felton is available.
02:45Therefore, it is very important and a priority to be able to reach the Felton thermoelectric
02:51plant with energy to start the startup of the unit, which is an important unit that
02:58strengthens the system in the zone, to later link the subsystems that we are going to have
03:04in the western, central and eastern zones of the country.
03:10The Director of Electricity of the Ministry of Energy of Cuba, Lazaro Guerra, shared that
03:15corresponding work is being carried out to guarantee the restoration of the electrical
03:20system in the shortest time possible.
03:23We continue in this process.
03:25We will continue working intensely, always with the greatest possible tranquility to
03:31be able to successfully complete the process of restoring the system and in the shortest
03:37time possible to have the system fully restored.
03:40And, of course, the most important thing is to increase electricity coverage in the country.
03:47The President of Cuba, Miguel DĂaz-Canel, reiterated the continuity of work to reestablish
03:51the National Electric Service with the objectives of achieving stability on the island.
03:56Through the social network, the Cuban President posted, we are at the national law and dispatch.
04:02We are working hard and tirelessly to recover the electric system by the priorities in order
04:09to achieve stability.
04:10A miracle, the wisdom and the poise of those who are leading these complex hours, many

04:36problems on the electrical system.
04:38He has stated, damages in 18 days of blockades are the equivalent to the annual cost of maintaining
04:43the national electric powered system, not including the fuel or the investments and
04:49around 250 US billion dollars.
04:52If the blockade is lifted, there will be no blackouts.
04:55This way the US government could support the Cuban people if it wants to.
05:02He also added that it is a lie that the US government authorized 100 US billion dollars
05:09in humanitarian exports to Cuba, according to a media outlet owned by the US.
05:13In fact, it even handled small charitable donations.
05:17Did they miss the zero or are they just kidding?

05:37and Mario Sabines Lorenzo announced the start-up of a terrestrial thermoelectric plant.

07:13The Executive Vice President DĂaz RodrĂguez emphasized that the state-owned companies
07:17gave a productive response to the economic blockade against the country.
