"Materially speaking, we've been ready for over a month to undertake major replacements in the economizer," Pérez admitted. "But then came summer, the World Cup, and the Cuban people's desire for a vacation without severe power disruptions." Pérez Castañeda explained that, prior to this failure, technicians had already identified an issue with a low superheater tube. Pérez Castañeda confirmed they now have the materials needed for this intervention. "What we're doing today is extending the plant's operational period," Pérez Castañeda summarized, illustrating the official strategy: maintaining a severely deteriorated infrastructure to prevent immediate worsening of blackouts.
