Las Tunas .- As part of the investment program running in Cuba in order to improve the quality of life of the population, to increase energy savings, and to substitute imports, the employees of the Electric Company in Las Tunas province prioritize the elimination of faulty networks, known as illegal lines, in 14 communities of the northern municipality of Puerto Padre, located about 50 kilometers north of this city and 740 east of Havana.


 The 150 clients of the National Electrical Union (UNE) in Las Tunas province have not reduced the energy consumption by five percent, as the country has stablished this year.

The project includes the installation of transformers and new lines and counters, and this year it could cover another 33 districts of that town and and the neighboring municipality of Jesus Menendez, which would favor hundreds of families who now receive a defective service, largely subsidized by the Cuban government, despite the global economic crisis, high fuel prices and the adverse consequences of the U.S. blockade against Cuba.

According to engineer Manuel Aloma, deputy director of the Electric Company in the eastern territory, the investment is humming along, and apparently the program will conclude on schedule and with the required quality.

According to data provided by engineer Richard Arias, head of the team that in the mentioned state company controls the rational use of energy, the families in Las Tunas continue with overdraw in the electricity consumption, among other reasons for lack of a strong culture in this matter but also because in recent years the Cuban Revolution sold millions of appliances that, although they cause more spending, enhance the quality of life of the people.

At a press conference with accredited journalists, the directors of the Electric Company of Las Tunas province stated that in the recently concluded sugar harvest in the territory, that industry did not provide the necessary electricity to the National Electric System (SEN), except the central southern sugar mill Amancio Rodriguez, whose workers were able to fulfill their plan all the time.
