Since January 30, workers from the Lidio Ramón Pérez Thermoelectric Power Plant in Felton and the Companys Maintenance Unit have been carrying out scheduled maintenance on Unit One of this industry, located in the municipality of Mayarí, Holguín province.

Felton Unit One maintained its stable deliveries to the National Electrical System since the maintenance carried out in November 2024, with only one outage of just a few hours due to external causes on December 5th. Currently, the plant has guarantees of Cuban crude fuel to sustain several weeks of generation after reestablishing its supplies to the National System.

The boiler of Unit Two of Felton Power Plant was burned after been partially repaired in the summer of 2022, thus unable to join the countrys Electic Network.
