Camagüey, Cuba, Aug 26 th.- We have the commitment to satisfy the energy demand of the population and it is important to work on the spending of the largest consumers, reflected today in this city the Commander of the Revolution Ramiro Valdés Menéndez, Cuban vice prime minister.

During a meeting at the provincial government, Jorge Luis Maceira Esteva, director of the 10 de Octubre Thermoelectric Power Plant, in the municipality of Nuevitas, reported that they have two units in operation and generating only number six, after number five left the system due to a fault in an electrical protection of the generator, although they intend to synchronize it today, Saturday, during peak hours.

He also stressed that they maintain stability by complying with the generation plan of 103 thousand megawatts (MW) scheduled for the month of August and as average load they have 145 MW of an agreed plan of 127.
