Cuba says electricity plant successfully repaired after large blackout
Al Jazeera
An escalating US pressure campaign, including an oil blockade, has strained the Caribbean country’s ageing energy infrastructure.
Cuban authorities say that repair teams have successfully fixed a large thermoelectric plant that shut down earlier this week, causing blackouts across an island that is straining under United States-imposed restrictions.
Felix Estrada Rodriguez, a top engineer at Cuba’s Electric Union, told the state-owned media outlet Canal Caribe that the Antonio Guiteras plant is expected to resume operations by Saturday afternoon.
He also explained that the pace of repairs was the result of difficult working conditions and safety concerns.
“It is a confined space with a high temperature,” Estrada Rodriguez said.
