Equivalent to 3.3 thermoelectric plants similar to the Antonio Guiteras in Matanzas BY JOAQUIN ORAMAS PRESIDENT Fidel Castro Ruz has confirmed that electricity generation on the island is to be based on electrogenic groups, given their lower cost and greater efficiency. Speaking on the Cuban TV "Informative Roundtable" program he confirmed that by next May Day the island's coordinated electrogenic groups will be generating one million kilowatts on account of the energy revolution being applied in the country. This is equivalent to 3.3 thermoelectric plants similar in size to the Antonio Guiteras one located in Matanzas province. He noted that there could be lack of electric power due to unforeseen causes but not due to insufficient capacity, giving as an example Pinar del Río province, where the coordinated electrogenic groups are already functioning. Via this productive method, family nuclei can resolve their energy needs, replacing gas consumption by this energy source. He explained that all the research and analyses effected with specialists in the Electric Industry confirmed that with the new concept of electrogenic groups installations could be constructed with greater rapidity, at lower cost and with more efficiency than thermoelectric plants. To illustrate his argument, Fidel gave an exhaustive analysis of the problems of the Antonio Guiteras, a station with 330 megawatts of power and the most modern in Cuba. He described each of the construction and mounting stages of this plant which took seven years from the moment of signing the contract with a French company to synchronizing it to generate electricity. Fidel affirmed that they had had to break away from concepts established by experts in the Cuban electrogenic system who thought that these groups couldn't be synchronized and that discussions on the issue lasted for about three months. "On the day that we managed to get the idea that the motors of the electrogenic groups could be coordinated, the new energetic concept of the country replacing the long-established opinion that the solution to Cuba's electricity problem lay in giant nuclear and thermoelectric plants like the Antonio Guiteras, began to appear." Fidel also referred to the possibility of using alternative sources, basically Aeolian and solar energy via panels of photovoltaic cells. The Cuban president pointed out that in recent years, the only schools not to suffer power cuts as a consequence of cyclones in the island's mountainous areas were those using solar energy panels. "That is one of the roads to follow if we want to take electricity to individual units," he stated, moving on to inform the people of important interchange negotiations to further explore the characteristics and technology of independent electrogenic groups. Some large international companies producing the motors had been invited to the country. He announced that, as an initial stage, 50 emergency electrogenic groups were acquired; at a later date 200 synchronized groups; and then a further 780.
