The Electric Union of Cuba (UNE) reported this Sunday that Sen was linked from Pinar del Río to Guantanamo, “nevertheless there are provinces that have effects.” The most affected provinces are Artemis and Pinar del Río. During the weekend the biggest problems were detected in the western zone, after several failed attempts to put the SEN online.
«We have in the process of starting the five of (the CTE) Mariel, and then the unit six must be incorporated. In the early morning the two thermoelectric machines of Santa Cruz del Norte must be incorporated. All these machines, plus the engines that come now as well, more (CTE) Guiteras that must be uploaded, make 400 megawatts that benefit the system and thus continue to decrease the effects. (…) With the power that will enter, we must close the load in the early morning and stay the entire system with electricity, ”said the informative note.
However, in some locations in the interior of the country the service has been extended for less than two hours a day. From the morning of this Monday, cuts of electricity are reported throughout the national territory. In Havana, the UNE provincial agency notified the suspension of the electrical service for up to 4 hours in a row in several areas due to a “generation deficit” of the SEN.
In the telegram channel of the UNE and the electric company of Havana users have remained all weekend complaining and denouncing the lack of electricity. Many even questioned total restoration because the service lasted less than an hour.
As for the new programming of blackouts, several comments evidence further”.
Other users also denounced the lack of water supply, even from several days before energy collapse.

The Ministry of Energy and Mines reported that “a breakdown in the substation of the decimmer caused the significant loss of generation in the west of Cuba and with it the fall of the national electrical system, the recovery process is already worked.” This constituted the fourth energy collapse on the island in less than five months.
On Sunday the authorities notified an “adjustment in the activities” teachers. An informative note from the Ministry of Education (MINED) indicated the suspension of classes in educational centers until Tuesday 18; Only those who had water coverage and could cook the food would work on Monday.
Standardization of disaster
In Camajuaní, province of Villa Clara, in the center of the island, the electricity service extends for about an hour a day.
“Now it is a scandal because it has been a general collapse, just like the previous times, but here in Villa Clara, the blackouts are normal and it has been like that for more than six months, here what there are lights, not blackouts,” said a resident in the province.
«To that, add the lack of liquefied gas, I already lost the account of the time we have been cooking with firewood or coalnot to mention the heat at night, and that you can barely sleep through the mosquitoes, ”he added.
