Havana, June 18 (acn) Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez announced on Sunday the beginning of a new stage of the Energy Revolution that is taking place in his country.
During the inauguration of a combined-cycle plant at the Termozulia electric plant in the western state of Zulia, the Venezuelan leader said that the main goal of this new stage is to substitute almost 27 million inefficient incandescent light bulbs by energy saving light bulbs in the official, industrial and commercial sectors.
Chávez insisted on the need to modify the consumption patterns that often tend to the waste of electricity and fuel, and stressed that the efforts currently being made by the Venezuelan government aim at preserving the environment.
The change of 26.7 light bulbs began on Sunday in the 13 states of the highest industrial potential.
After the replacement of 53.2 incandescent bulbs in Venezuelan houses, the Central Electricity Office has certified a reduction of 1400 megawatts in the maximum demand.
There have not been blackouts in the last months in the states of Nueva esparto, Amazonas and Delta Amaruco, where power cuts were more frequent.
"Since the beginning of the Energy Revolution last November, the Venezuelan people have learned to break old paradigms in the use of energy," said Manuel Deza, coordinator of the Energy program.
The newly inaugurated plant reduces emissions to the atmosphere and is part of the Energy Revolution that also includes the substitution of oil by natural gas in the production of electricity and the use of renewable sources of energy, among other initiatives.
