Havana, April 17 (RHC)-- Cuba's National Energy Council (NEC) has called for the saving of electricity in the country, given increased energy consumption due to home isolation of people and also to high temperatures.

The NEC, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Ramiro Valdes, studied the energy demands so far for April, which are at the same level of the summer period, exceeding the energy plan by 5.3%.  Such a figure, reached between April 1st and the 14th, account for an overconsumption of 9,516 tons of fuel.

Cuba's Minister of Energy and Mines, Livan Larronte, strongly recommended that families adjust the time that they cook meals, using fuel and electrical energy at different times of the day to avoid peak useage.

Ramiro Valdes, for his part, reflected on the control of rational use of energy at the time of fighting COVID-19, and also called for raising awareness to re-organize life at home in order to save energy.
