Celso Marranzini, the recently recruited executive vice president of the State-Owned Electricity Companies (CDEEE), is asking the public to give him time to resolve the power crisis. He had good news, though. He says citizens will begin to notice a reduction in blackouts beginning today.
Marranzini says that the government is awaiting shipments of fuel to power the generators, adding that the Los Minas 6 generator, which can produce 85 MW, has now entered the system. San Felipe, which has been off because it had no fuel, would be back on the grid soon. He said the government has dished out US$3 million to reduce its arrears with the generators. Marranzini stated that he hoped that enough fuel would arrive to keep San Felipe online until 1 November, when it will be turned off for maintenance.
