Cuba Reducing Use of Energy Resources: Lage

Havana, Nov 19 (acn) Cuban Vice President Carlos Lage affirmed on 
Saturday that there is an economic growth on the island as it reduces 
the use of energy resources through saving and efficiency.

Lage, who noted that the country is currently consuming 7% less of 
diesel and 13% less of gasoline, explained that the Energy Revolution, 
rather than a task, is a permanent concept in favor of saving and 
efficiency not only in the generation of electricity but also in the 
reorganization of public transportation, the distribution of products 
and state controls.

The leader, who toured several facilities linked to the generation of 
energy in central Cienfuegos province, also inaugurated the first of 
three small power generating plants that use fuel oil and that will 
benefit 30,600 families in the municipalities of Cruces, Santa Isabel 
de las Lajas and Palmira.

Lage also visited the Carlos Manuel de Cespedes thermoelectric plant 
where he was briefed about the modernization of Unit 4 of the power 
plant that will be able to use improved crude oil in an efficient and 
stable way.
