With the aim of achieving greater savings in electrical energy, the workers of the Ciego de Ávila Water and Sewerage Company have carried out the change of energy matrix in 34 drinking water pumping stations.

These systems made up of solar panels and submersible pumps are expected to reach 92 of these entities this year, distributed in the 10 municipalities of Ciego de Ávila, where they will contribute to improving the quality of life of those who reside in the most remote and vulnerable communities.

In addition to increasing energy savings, the new technology creates the bases to achieve energy independence, since it makes it possible to contribute to the National Electric System when it is not generating for its specific function.

This was explained to this station by Dagmara Molina Castañeda, a Communications specialist at the Water and Sewerage Company, who added that the benefits to the population include greater stability in pumping.

Molina Castañeda announced that the change in the energy matrix will favor more than 45,500 inhabitants of the Avilanian geography, through small solar or hybrid pumping stations with equipment of up to 10 kilowatts (KW) of power.
