This Friday, August 26, the forecasts of the Electric Power Company in Ciego de Ávila indicate a deficit of more than 50 megawatts (MW) in the availability of generation, a level similar to that suffered on Thursday 25, when it reached 51 MW.

For the peak, the entry of unit 3 of the Ernesto Guevara thermoelectric plant (CTE) with 60 MW and the use of 140 MW in diesel engines is expected; In any case, the availability (2,410 MW) will be lower than the higher demand (3,100 MW) by 690 MW, which will cause an impact of 760 MW, less compared to yesterday's peak, which was 825 MW at 10:00 of the night.
