Unit 6 of the Nuevitas thermoelectric plant and unit 2 of Felton continue to be out of service due to breakdowns; unit 6 of Renté and unit 3 of the “Carlos Manuel de Céspedes” plant are under maintenance.
Likewise, they continue without having 1,027 MW, as a result of the breakdown or maintenance of generating equipment (distributed generation).
