to feel improvement in the electricity supplysince last Thursday, the day on which no electricity was registered. electricity deficit However, since yesterday, even with the entry of two Estrella del Mar units into the system, there is a sustained deficit of 221 megawatts affecting eight circuits (two from Edenorte and six from Edeeste).
However, these circuits represent only 24 megabytes together, so the supply is limited. It has stabilized and, according to the EDES spokesman and vice president of the EDES Energy Distribution Companies, Andrés Astacio, this week or before the end of the month it will be ready. normalized.
Unit 1 at Punta Catalina is expected to come online before the end of this month. Catalina 1 and 2 each generate 356 megabytes.
At 2:30 p.m. this Sunday, the synchronized availability and the actual availability were 3,019.19 megawatts, above the schedule, established at 2,705.04 megawatts, whose behavior is verified in the statistics of the Coordinating Body (OC) of the National Interconnected Electric System (SENI).
Consumption skyrockets during peak hours and during the hot season.
At 10 in the Friday night the SENI did not register No deficit, on the contrary, of the 2,870 megawatts programmed, there was a synchronization of 3,130 megawatts and a supply of 2,960 megawatts.
The OC-SENI has registered Unit 1 of Punta Catalina was out for an indefinite time, as well as the San Felipe generator,however, it is expected that PC Unit 1 will enter the system by the end of this month.
The Mina 1 and the Mina 2 that had presented faults are already within the SENI. On Friday night only eight outside circuits had been registered (2 from Edenorte and 26 from Edeeste) for a total of just 24 megawatts.
Availability
Currently, the SENI has a synchronization of 2,575.50 mg, the real availability was 3,105.84 mg, while the consumption was around 3,105.84 mg, above the programming of 2,571.01 mg.
La synchronized real availability was 2,575.50 mg, so it presented a deficit of 221.56 mg. Yesterday the Seaboard plants and the two ITABO plants were also within the SENI.
The government electricity sector reported this Friday of the entrance to the SENI of 410 new megawatts of private generators to supply the high demand for energy in the face of the strong heat wave and to eliminate the blackouts that occurred in the middle of the week due to the exit of several plants , some of these due to failures and that together with the 356 mg of unit 1 of Catalina removed several circuits.
There are still sectors with interruptions in service, according to reports from network users, but there are others who also affirmed that it is necessary to recognize the effort that is being made in the country to maintain the energy supply to the population, since Countries like Cuba and Honduras also feel the momentary lack, given the fragility of the sector.
Spokesperson for EDES
Andrés Astacio, Vice President of the EDES Energy Distribution Companies, explained As the authorities of the sector had explained on Thursday, actions were adopted that have been increasing availability.
“Since Thursday night there is no generation deficit and that  ; it has made it possible to stabilize the system and the quality of the service.
The population feels a great improvement” EDES spokesperson. revealed In addition to the 410 megawatts generated by private companies, today 140 megawatts are coming from Estrella del Mar and 110 megawatts from Los Mina 5 and Los Mina 7, so the system is being destroyed. stabilizing.
On Saturday, he said, there were 3,000 megabytes synchronized and although breakdowns can occur, these can be solved, since the first thing it solves is the macro in the generation.
explained that is being using specialized generation for certain users and transmitting it to the general system.
The government power sector team offered a press conference to announce the entry of 410 megabytes of private generators and blamed the The previous government for not having tendered new plants in accordance with the strategic plan and demand studies. The PLD team of energy technicians rejected the request. the approach.
Fuels
The generation used for energy supply this Sunday 22 was 31% natural gas, 25% coal. ;n, 27% fuel oil, 8% wind power, 5% hydro, 1% fuel oil 2, 33% solar and 1% biomass.
Catalina< br /> Last Thursday the president of the Committee Technician of the Trust of the Punta Catalina Thermoelectric Power Plant (CTPC), Celso Marranzini, explained that last week some teams arrived to complete the maintenance of Unit 1 of the Punta Catalina Thermoelectric Power Plant and Others would arrive on Friday, so at the end or near the end of the month it will come into force. to the SENI.
