Description
Description | The Antonio Guiteras Thermoelectric Plant in Matanzas, Cuba, experienced a disconnection from the National Electric Power System due to a false signal in the turbine's protection system. The plant is undergoing startup after repairs, but its shutdown has worsened the electricity deficit in Cuba, causing intense blackouts. The plant also faces scheduled maintenance for a 72-hour technical shutdown to repair its high-temperature reheater, with no specific date set yet. The plant's excessive water use impacts local water distribution, and a desalination plant is considered as a long-term solution pending financing. |
