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. * ================================================================= NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us Our main website: http://www.blythe.org List Archives: http://blythe-systems.com/pipermail/nytr/ Subscribe: http://blythe-systems.com/mailman/listinfo/nytr =================================================================
