This plant, well-known as Tallapiedra, is due to start up at Sunday noon, local time, after being unworkable for two years. It will generate 45 megawatts (MW) to the National Grid, the Cuban Presidency posted on Twitter.

The Cuban president, alongside the Prime Minister Manuel Marrero and the Minister of Energy and Mines Luis Nicolás Arronte, paid a visit to several areas of the power plant that could generate 60 MW if deeper work is conducted on its major boiler.

For such a reason, Díaz-Canel ordered to come up with the idea to take better advantage of this plant that synchronized for the first time in 1973.
