Sargassum impacts the operation of the electricity generator ITABO

Units 1 and 2 of the Itabo electricity generator, which contribute 238 megawatts (MW) of firm power to the National Interconnected Electric System (SENI), are currently suffering the seasonal impact of sargassum, which is present on the country’s coasts every year.

In a note sent to the media, the company states that this situation has forced it to reduce operations to handle the large influxes of sargassum in its water intake system.

In this sense, unit 1 of the Itabo Electricity Generating Company has remained temporarily unavailable, while the cleaning process is carried out as a preventive measure to avoid new shots.

From May 13 to 16, the technical team has removed 26.24 tons and although a greater arrival of sargassum is expected, Itabo management stated that it is actively working to recover the generation levels of this important unit of the system.
