Rodriguez Araque:" in the country is wasted energy "
"Here in Venezuela there a culture of waste closely associated with rentier culture, "said Ali Rodriguez Araque, Minister of Electricity, in an interview with Venezuela Any program of VTV.
He added that more than 17 major energy-generating works will be put into operation this year to bolster the national electric system, adding that the problem of energy prices in Venezuela is a encourage the waste.
said that this year is expected across the country installed generation capacity of over 2,000 MW through new projects and recovery electrical systems in late 2011 and aims to have installed more than 4 000 megawatts in the country that will stabilize the electrical system. Araque
labeled aggressive the plan to manage electricity in the area where he claims to have a lot of plants that are under installation and will culminate this year.
commented already have ready the installation of 7,747 megawatts between the units that the country has already acquired, and those incorporated by commitments to the Republic of China.
"We will continue with other plants next year to give you enough strength to generation capacity in central and western Mexico and in eastern territory. Together with that we are focused on the exploitation of other energy source such as wind, sotuvo.
explained that the National Electricity Corporation (Corpoelec) this year will provide 1,598 megawatts of electricity, Petroleos de Venezuela will generate another 800 mw and 175 to produce the Ministry for Basic Industries and Mining (Mibam).
The minister said that despite efforts, the number of megawatts generated today is not sufficient for excessive electricity consumption in the country, which will be even greater grow as the construction industry and some sectors of production that require energy to function.
"The recovery process as the construction will involve a sharp increase in electricity demand of 600 megawatts, it is added to the steel sector, this can be increased up to a thousand megawatts," he said.
The Ministry of People's Power is planning to increase in all states the incentive plan of the stimulus and electricity savings as well as many educational campaigns in schools, colleges and high schools and in communities to promote the need power consumption with a conscience and do not waste it.
"We are developing a set of measures to be implemented in order to stimulate savings or efficiency in electricity use (...) one that showed effectiveness is already applied in Caracas, now apply throughout the country "said minstro.
The stimulus plan to reduce those high energy residential consumers, ie those whose turnover is above 500KW/hora month, which reduce their consumption by between 10 and 20% were deducted 25% of value of your bill and if it decreases 20% or more discount on their turnover will 50%.
The bill also includes penalties for those that increase or reduce their consumption of 500 KW / hour. Those who do not reduce their consumption to a minimum of 10% will apply a surcharge of 75% in the value of their turnover.
