Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel evaluated measures today alongside officials and experts to secure the water supply in Havana amidst the energy crisis caused by the intensification of the U.S. embargo.

The meeting, held at the Palace of the Revolution, focused on three fundamental pillars: securing the water supply using generators, maintaining the electrical grids linked to the service, and achieving energy independence to guarantee water distribution in the capital.

During the meeting, officials reported that distributed generation diesel generators have been deployed to support the first 29 selected supply sources and booster stations.

Nearly 70 sites have been visited to assess ground conditions and ensure the pumping of the vital liquid, according to details published on the official website of the Presidency of the Republic.

Deputy Prime Minister Inés María Chapman stressed the need for rigorous work regarding valve management, leak repair, equipment protection, and operator training.

“It is a precise effort that we will follow up on continuously,” she affirmed.

As part of these actions, authorities are prioritizing the use of renewable energy sources, including the installation of solar complexes and photovoltaic parks at major supply sources, as well as energy storage systems at key booster stations.

The Head of State, who recently visited the Paso Seco water source in the Boyeros municipality—a strategic point supplying the south and center of the capital—assured that the situation will undergo frequent reviews.

Access to water in Havana has been directly impacted by the energy blockade imposed by Washington, which has exceeded 200 days without guaranteeing a stable supply of fuel to the island.
