Prime Minister Manuel Marrero affirmed this Thursday that the country is persevering in the search for alternative solutions. To alleviate the consequences of prolonged power outages. Exacerbated by the blockade imposed by the United States of America.
The country has installed 1,464 MW of renewable energy capacity (13.8 percent). Marrero detailed while updating the deputies of the National Assembly of People’s Power. On the progress of the economic and social transformations.
He added that during this phase, 4,292 photovoltaic systems were installed through state projects. Also 2,784 of them in vital centers and 1,508 in isolated homes.
Additionally, he pointed out, more than 11,000 systems were delivered to children with chronic illnesses, Heroes of Labor, doctors, teachers, scientists, and sports legends. Some 125,751 households already have systems installed.
To continue advancing in this sector, the Head of Government announced the easing of requirements. So that small and medium-sized enterprises and foreign companies can carry out the process of importing and wholesale and retail marketing of fuels.
Regarding fuel sales, he indicated that the pricing methods must correspond to those approved and be transparent and publicly available.
Given the need to expand tax incentives, a tax credit on Income and Personal Income taxes was approved. For individuals and corporations who, as part of their social responsibility. Invest in renewable energy sources for public service centers, social or care facilities, multi-family buildings, and public lighting.
Regarding the current state of the national power grid, the Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy. Pointed out that, following the U.S. government’s executive order, the entire repair and maintenance process has become much more complex. Because, in addition to the lack of access to fuel, the country’s acquisition of parts and components is limited.
The minister also referred to internal problems. Such as the theft of oil and transformers, which exacerbate the already complex situation.
He emphasized that the country’s limited power generation capacity is essential. For protecting a number of vital centers of the economy and social life. Such as hospitals and the preservation and distribution of food.
De la O Levy highlighted the attention given to energy sector workers, who work tirelessly to provide better service.
