Havana, May 2nd. - The equivalent of generating something more than a thermal unit such as those of Felton are providing the 10 photovoltaic solar panels that were planned to connect at the end of April to the electrical system to provide more than 280 MW on sunny days.
Although they do not accumulate energy, they reduce the use of imported diesel fuel during the day, which, if available, can be used for night and early morning distributed generation engines.
It is not possible, and no one has said that the PSF will eliminate the blackouts, and also lie those who run the false information that Cuba does not have a strategy in its electrical system, because precisely the change of energy matrix is part of it.
With the recent inauguration of the photovoltaic solar park located in the Juan Pérez II area, in the municipality of Niquero, province of Granma, two sites were completed in April and a total of ten since these sites began operating in February.
The first PSF were the School of Nursing in El Cotorro, Havana and Mayor, in Abreus, Cienfuegos, whose launch was in the second month of the year.
In March, the following started to operate: La Sabana, in Granma; Mango Dulce, in Artemisa; Remedios, in Villa Clara; La Corúa, in Holguín; Jovellanos, in Matanzas and Ciego Norte (Cruce de la Trocha), in Ciego de Ávila.
During April, La Barbarita in Consolación del Sur, province of Pinar del Río and Juan Pérez II, in the municipality of Niquero, province of Granma were opened. (Adelante Digital Newspaper) (Photo: Internet)
