Cuba Reduces Energy
Consumption
Havana - Cuba's energy authorities have reduced
18,000 tons of fuel destined to power generation
without blackouts, Granma newspaper reported
Tuesday.
Electricity Company official Ricardo Gonzalez
confirmed the reduction regarding the increasing
consumption in April and the first two weeks in May.
Such equivalent fuel economy, reached thanks to a
national energy saving, made blackout program to
people unnecessary.
Gonzalez warned on the imminent vacation months,
July and August, with high temperatures and
consumption of fans, air conditionings and
refrigeration.
Inspectors have detected nearly 1,500 frauds in the
residential sector in June, and 128 labor places are
without electricity for not fulfilling consumption
plan.
Cuba has implemented a national energy-saving drive
to compensate an over-consumption higher to 40,000
tons of fuel in the first four months of this year. |
