Synchronization took place at 9:49 p.m. on Tuesday, with the plant contributing 170 MW by 5:30 a.m. today. Workers and specialists at the eastern Cuban facility worked uninterrupted hours to meet the scheduled timeline following the SEN failure that had knocked the plant offline.

  “The team carried out technical measures aimed at protecting the turbine and verifying that all components of the generating unit were in optimal condition before starting up the turbogenerator,” the newspaper reported.

  During the outage, Holguin Electric Company—the utility serving the area where the unit is located—prioritized circuits supplying hospitals and areas powering the pumping systems and water treatment plants linked to the Gibara and Guirabo reservoirs, which supply water to the provincial capital.
