Juan Alberto Piedra, Demand regulation head coach of the Electricity Enterprise in this western province, told ACN that in recent weeks there has been an increase in the expenditure of electricity due to higher use of appliances.
He urged all, from executives to families to implement saving to avoid exceeding reasonable limits to prevent the occurrence of blackouts.
The expert noted that is forecasted that during this summer there will be even higher temperatures and recommended actions that can help save electricity and reduce monthly bills.
He explained that Thermal insulation plates made of cray for electric cookers are on sale at moderate prices, which are to be placed below the area that generates heat and foster better use of energy by cooking food in less time.
He also called for in the homes to explore the possibility of transferring the use of electric stoves to those hours outside the high demand peak.
The average temperatures have risen in recent days in Matanzas, and throughout the country, reportedly ranging between 32 and 35 Celsius degrees, a phenomenon that causes refrigerators and air conditioners to work harder.
Piedra said that inspectors will visit houses to monitor the operation of meters fight fraudulent practices, and advised consumers to daily read the spending to keep it within the desired parameters.
