Las Tunas, Cuba.- Carlos Arias Sobrino, director of the Electric Company in the province, confirmed that during the period of energy contingency until September 30, average consumption was reduced daily by about 300 MW/h, equivalent to 700 tons of diesel saved by generation concept.
With more than 184 thousand clients that use 70 percent of the total electricity distributed in the territory, the residential sector computes the largest savings reserve to be achieved in Las Tunas.
"That reason is more than enough so that the actions of the mass organizations, and the political and government structures, converge towards the achievement of a greater awareness of each member of the family nuclei about the urgency of making more efficient and rational energy use in their respective homes," Yelenis Tornet Menéndez, vice president of the Council of the Provincial Administration for attention to the economy and the Energy Program, told 26Digital.
In order to contribute to this effort, Arias Sobrino again noted, as an example, that if a lamp of 18 Watts goes out in each house, the province decreases 3.3 Watts of consumption in one hour. If 40 percent of households disconnect the refrigerator one hour a day, the territory would stop spending 13.5 MW.
But, if the population also avoid cooking food during peak hours -from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm-; and at that time they do not connect pumping water equipment or the air conditioner, iron clothes or use the television as a radio, and implement as many initiatives as they can imagine, then their contribution would be significant.
Hence, the officials of the Electric Company and the National Office for the Control of the Rational Use of Electricity (Onure) consider that it is in the residential sector in which Las Tunas has the greatest possibilities of avoiding excess consumption, just as it has been done so far.
