Guantánamo – More than 500 workers work from home in the Guantánamo Province, one of the measures that are being promoted in order to reduce energy consumption in the centers and thus reduce the demand on the National Electric System in the current circumstances of the energy contingency.

According to Idalis Martínez, a specialist in the Provincial Labor Directorate, just over 60 Guantanamo residents work remotely and about 480 work from their homes, modalities that are still handled with caution in the territory that require control by the administrations.

Other actions are also being implemented in the province to support fuel savings and proper use, and in this regard the labor movement urges that each workplace complies with the total switching off of light sources from eleven in the morning until one in the afternoon, with the exception of those centers with vital services for the population.

In this regard, visits to centers with high energy consumption are also indicated, while schedule adjustments and changes of work in the work centers are maintained, taking into account the characteristics of each activity.

Given the electrical energy complexity that the country is going through, remote working is emerging, among other measures, as an important link to contribute to savings, a strategy that demonstrated its worth during the COVID 19 pandemic.
