Cubans have responded with indignation to a publication of the Electricity Union in which they report the causes of the constant blackouts they suffer practically every day, in the midst of an energy crisis aggravated by obsolescence and lack of maintenance of the country’s thermoelectric plants.
The entity shared a text on its Facebook wall in which it details the effects that occurred on Tuesday in the electricity service due to the generation deficit and breakdowns in the production units .
“You take more time to write your informative notes than to arrange and think about an investment plan for thermoelectric plants,” questioned a Habanero.
” Is it that there will be problems throughout life? That is not a way of life. With the price of electricity, quality service should be provided. Yesterday at the same time they interrupted the service, ditto the day before. It rains in the wet because not even rotate, some of us are punished while otherssites are wasted, “an old woman denounced.
In mid-August, the governor Miguel Díaz-Canel ordered the authorities of the sector to inform the the population at what time the blackouts would occur , in an intervention in which they again asked citizens for “an effort” to save electricity, and again appealed to the “conscience” and the “understanding” of users.
Since then the Electric Union publishes a daily note in which it lists the problems in the service, for reasons that can go from the breaks in the production plants up to the generation deficit at peak hours.
These publications only receive criticism from users overwhelmed by frequent power outages, who demand more than apologies from the leaders.
“The situation of the thermoelectric plants is so surreal that it makes you want to laugh,” said a medical student.
“A situation like this is Disrespectful to the customer and therefore, taking into account the inconvenience they cause, they should compensate for this situation, and for the sake of the battered reputation reduce the cost of the kW. Time to move from apologies to action. Excuse yourself, but compensate the client for his bad treatment “, asked a doctor.
” Let’s see, because it seems that the issue of blackouts must be assumed as something normal in the life of the Cubans. Is it that this problem is not being a priority in the country? Is it that we are not able to solve it? With apologies, you don’t cook, you can’t do anything. How is it possible that such an expensive service is so unstable and so poorly attended? How do you understand that so many units go out of operation almost at the same time? What is the reason why the units do not get even one day in operation after weeks repairing them? “, Questioned a graduate in tourism.
” You really have to be a specialist or an engineer to understand first of all the planning and second, the number of breakdowns that all the CTE have, “said a university student from Santa Clara.
Several Internet users protested the blackouts at night, when people are resting.
“It is the greatest lack of respect and humanism that I have seen in my life. How to go out to work the next day, after having spent a night without being able to sleep. What a great abuse with the people, “said a self-employed person.
” What annoys is that they have no consideration. Most power outages are at night. With this heat and the mosquitoes there is no one who can hold out. Respect a bit, damn it, that there are others working hard and risking their lives. They need a break, “demanded a resident of Pinar del Río.
” Conclusion: blackouts for life and with sick people in the houses, in addition to the children losing teleclasses and not being able to even see dolls to be able to entertain them and keep them in the house. This is too much, my God, “lamented an old woman.
” It is already disrespectful, it is more of the same, breaks and more breaks. You can no longer believe in information that is constantly repeated, you have to be at home and stressed by everything, even teleclasses are affected. Anyway, we continue worse “, assured a Santa Clara.
