UNE will disconnect circuits in areas with strong winds

The Cuban Electric Union (UNE) announced that, given the approach of Hurricane Melissa and the low availability of power generation. It will implement preventative power outages in areas where winds have exceeded 60 kilometers per hour (37 mph). In order to preserve the security of the National Electrical System. The company stated this on its Facebook page.

The company specified that the Antonio Maceo thermoelectric power plant in Santiago de Cuba. The Lidio Ramón Pérez plant in Holguin, and the Fuel de Moa plant will be disconnected in a controlled manner. Due to their geographic location and vulnerability to the storm.
Workers in the electrical sector are carrying out primary tree trimming throughout the country to reduce the risk of falling trees and branches. Also to secure installations, and guarantee service to evacuation centers where families are sheltering in coordination with Civil Defense.

The Cuban Electric Union (UNE) reported that line crews from western Cuba are preparing to deploy to the eastern provinces to provide support to the areas most affected by the hurricane. The union reiterated that the measures taken aim to maintain the integrity of the electrical system and ensure the continuity of basic services in the most vulnerable areas.
