The second unit of the Punta Catalina thermoelectrical plant is undergoing its first-generation trials and is readying to enter the electricity grid. It added 21 megawatts to the National Interconnected Electricity System (SENI) on Sunday, 29 September 2019.
Presidency spokesman Roberto Rodríguez Marchena explained that the unit was synchronized at Sunday, 29 September 2019, in the afternoon when it provided electricity to the system for the first time. It was then disconnected and prepared to be synchronized once again on Wednesday, 2 October.
The first unit, tested over the past three months, is out of service for technical reviews.
