They raid hostel in Ponedera for illegal connection to Electricaribe

by

Autoriades raided the establishment “Shalom Hostal Spa”, located in the municipality of Ponedera, in order to verify the alleged commission of the crime of fraud of fluids by illegal connection to the electric power service.

The operation, carried out this Thursday morning, was led by Electricaribe, the Attorney General’s Office, the Sijin and the Special Operations Group (Goes) of the National Police, Atlantic section. In its development the existence of a large electrical infrastructure operating illegally was confirmed.

A 112.5 KVA power transformer was found connected to the Electricaribe network. With this capacity, it is estimated that the monthly billing would be higher than 4 million pesos.

The superintendent, Natasha Avendaño García, confirmed that, “despite having the energy service, the establishment is not formalized as an Electricaribe client. The place has more than 30 rooms, more than 40 air conditioners, an auditorium for events with capacity for 200 people, and only paid 130 thousand pesos of energy per month. This value was included in the total consumption of the San Jorge neighborhood community, in subnormality, in Ponedera (Atlántico), thus violating the rights of users who were unaware that they were paying for the energy consumption of the property ”.

The purpose of the raid was to inspect, collect evidence, and dismantle the illegal connection. It was carried out at the request of Electricaribe, in response to complaints from the public and to the refusal of the owners of the establishment to formalize themselves as a user of the company. During the procedure, the hostel manager was captured.

Faced with this case, and given the upcoming entry of the new energy service operators in the Caribbean, the superintendency invited the community and local authorities to keep reporting power theft and other illegal practices that affect the provision of the service and the interests of the users.

Keys to understanding what is happening in Cuba with the currency: monetary reform that will yield to the dollar? | Economy

by

Cuba plans to unify its two currencies and exchange rates against the dollar, leaving only one to go with the market.

The process, postponed for several years waiting for the best moment, could take place in the worst, when ECLAC expects the Cuban economy to decrease by 8% this year, as a result of the pandemic.

These are the keys to understanding what will happen:

A single coin

The Cuban convertible peso or CUC (equivalent to the dollar), which was born more than two decades ago, will disappear to first accompany and then replace the dollar, in circulation from 1993 to 2004. The government guarantees the validity of savings in CUC.

The Cuban peso or CUP (24 CUP per dollar) will prevail.

Economists assure that the CUC no longer has backing in dollars because the government disposed of those amounts due to the lack of liquidity in recent years. It lost its convertibility.

Today, the CUC is commonly used in the local market and in practice it is only a 24 CUP bill.

But revive the dollar

Since October 2019, the government has established the sale of household appliances and food in dollars, in selected stores, exclusively with a bank card.

This increased the demand for the dollar and generated rumors of unification of the currency for October, although it was later denied. The US ticket is now sold for about 1.5 CUC in informal markets (50% more).

The problem: the exchange rate

In Cuba, a common citizen places gasoline at 1 CUC (1 dollar) per liter, or 24 CUP. However, an official of a state company has a special exchange rate of 1 × 1. That is, the liter of gasoline is paid with 1 CUP.

In practice, the individual spends 10 CUC (10 dollars) or 240 CUP for 10 liters, while the state company spends, for the same reason, only 10 CUP (0.41 dollars).

State companies are 80% of the economy, and its preferential rates, in force since the 1980s, cause a huge distortion.

Implicit subsidies become “a salvage table” for some unprofitable companies, the advisor to the Ministry of Economy, Lázaro Toirac, explained to the press.

Meanwhile, exporters suffer because they receive 1 CUP for every dollar they earn.

“Many are the difficulties that this duality of circuits causes. And the confusion begins when measuring the real costs of business activity, having unreliable economic records “, details.

The consequences

By eliminating the 1 × 1 rate, production costs will rise and with it prices. Several states can fail and others have unrealistic profits.

Faced with this situation, experts suggest subsidizing the prices that will rise due to the measure, or raising wages. 70% of the labor force works for the State.

Cuba is an open economy and imports almost all of the goods it consumes through state firms.

The island is slowly undertaking a comprehensive reform of its Soviet-style economy, which allows private activity, which must be accelerated in this circumstance.

Normalize the exchange rate

Although the 1 × 1 rate is subsidized, the other one that governs the market, of 1 dollar for 24 CUP, has been immovable for fifteen years.

“It has not been a secret that the only currency that will remain circulating in Cuba will be the CUP, and the goal is to try to bring it closer to a exchange rate that can be recognized in comparison with international currencies, so that there is clarity in transactions ”, adds Toirac.

Investments of 15,000 million dollars are projected for the Caribbean | Economy

by

From January 2021, and for a period of five years, the country’s Caribbean coast will become the focus of development of large mining-energy mega-works, which are classified by the Government as a priority and of national interest.

Lea: (Mining and oil SMEs will have relief for their tasks)

Thus, in the territories and in waters off the coasts of Córdoba, Sucre, Bolívar, Atlántico, Magdalena, La Guajira and Cesar, initiatives will be developed on the electric power, hydrocarbons and mining fronts that will be a key element for the economic development of the country.

Lea: (Copper, gold and coal, challenges of the Mining Agency)

And the estimated investments on behalf of the renewable energy projects, added to the electricity transmission initiatives, the two last generation coal-fired thermal plants, the oil blocks for the extraction of crude oil and natural gas, both on land and offshore, and the expansion of the largest refinery in the country, among others, would be in the order of 15,000 million dollars.

This figure is striking, several sector analysts told Portafolio, not only because it would represent close to two points of GDP, but incidentally would open the door to more than 200,000 direct jobs, not counting indirect jobs, a number that could not yet be calculate.

RENEWABLES IN THE ENERGY TRANSITION

The button to be displayed in the development of the energy sector on the Caribbean coast is paid by the projects for the generation of renewable energy located in La Guajira and Cesar, and that concentrate 90% of the clean source initiatives in the country, and that will help to take the step in the so-called energy transition.

“Between the two energy auctions, the country had 14 projects assigned, nine wind and five solar. There is a pipeline of clean sources with 2,500 megawatts (Mw). In addition, the Ministry issued Decree 829 that reduces the time to access its tax benefits, ”said Diego Mesa, Minister of Mines and Energy.

Calculations of the aforementioned portfolio indicate that the estimated investments for the development of these works would be greater than US $ 2 billion.

Added to the above is the Colectora II transmission line project, which will be in charge of delivering the energy produced by these sources to the National Interconnected System (SIN) and whose investment will be US $ 180 million.

Another potential of the Caribbean coast lies in the large oil blocks in which what will be the supply of natural gas is being extracted, as is currently the case in the departments of Córdoba and Sucre, and which will help meet the demand for this fuel throughout the national territory.

The above without counting, with the areas assigned in the Permanent Process of Allocation of Areas (PPAA) of the National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) and that in the medium term will increase the supply of this fuel.

“Some of these projects are already in execution and others in structuring, generating more than 20,000 jobs. For this reason, we hope that a timely and responsible reactivation can take place, so that these works can be carried out in the shortest possible time, ”explained Orlando Cabrales, president of Naturgas.

The estimated investments are for more than US $ 2,500 million and have to do with the exploration, production, transportation and distribution of energy in the region of the Caribbean coast, and the rest of the country.

In addition, in the waters of the Colombian Caribbean Sea there are already assigned for development, and about thirty blocks are in the process of exploration and production (E&P) that will become in the medium and long term another of the great remnants of crude and gas for the nation.

The signing of nine contracts in 2019 for offshore E&P allowed companies such as Ecopetrol, Petrobras, Repsol, Shell, ExxonMobil and Noble Energy, to be part of the boom in this oil task in the aforementioned waters.

“These exploration contracts represent a great step for the country on many fronts. We will increase the knowledge of the availability of offshore resources, we will expand the exploration frontier in deep waters, “said Ana María Duque, president of Shell in Colombia.

In addition, large initial investments come from the offshore operation, because in addition to the US $ 250 million that Ecopetrol will disburse and the US $ 5 million from two Repsol agreements, there are also the US $ 100 million for the Shell contracts and the US $ 400 million announced by Petrobras.

The new dynamics in this front of operation, energized the issue of Permanent Offshore Free Zones (Zfpca), and ANH records indicate that to date four have been declared, which are already in operation and located near Cartagena, Barranquilla, Santa Marta and Riohacha.

“Under this scheme, they will be able to access fiscal boxes included in the free zone regime,” explained Armando Zamora, president of the ANH.

OTHER INVESTMENTS

The Colombian Caribbean will also have two of the most modern thermoelectric plants based on coal and ultra supercritical technology., La Luna in Cesar and Termobijao in Córdoba, whose technology will generate low levels of co2.

The first project, whose operator will be the multinational Sloane, is one of the thermal complexes for power generation that steals the attention of the country’s electricity sector, due to the same magnitude of the project, and already has the green light for the start of its assembly, and will have an investment of US $ 1,600 million.

For its part, the second thermal park, and that its baton would be in the hands of the multinational IC Power, has not yet established the amount of its investment (but industry analysts estimate that the cost would be close to US $ 1,200 million). What this newspaper could establish is that once all the permits are in place, the respective investment banks will finish making the calculations to define the financial viability to start their assembly.

Likewise, Ecopetrol’s administration has already started the expansion of the Cartagena Refinery (Reficar), project that seeks to integrate the old plant to the new one, with the goal of processing more than 200,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) from the end of 2022 with an investment of US $ 140 million.

The ‘Zurdo’ López underwent a catheterization and it is studied if they should operate

by

The former Junior Technician Miguel Ángel López was hospitalized last Monday morning at the Clínica del Caribe, after feeling discomfort and abnormal pressure.

The news was known through social networks, after one of his pupils in the rojiblanco team, former striker Martín Arzuaga, reported his health status through Twitter.

“Let us put in our prayers Professor Miguel Ángel López, who suffered an acute myocardial infarction,” wrote the ‘Toro’.

Until the closing of this edition, no official medical report was known about the state of health of the ‘Zurdo’.

The Argentine, champion with the Sharks in 2004, has been based in Barranquilla for several years.

Francisco Arias, who works as López’s assistant, assures that the 78-year-old veteran helmsman “is stable, calm and in good spirits”, waiting for what the doctors decide.

“Still under observation. They’ve already had a catheterization that resulted in a clogged artery. The possibility of open heart surgery or another type of intervention is being studied, ”Arias told EL HERALDO.

The former technician, according to Arias, remains in constant communication with those closest to him. His relatives in Argentina have already been informed and are aware of his health, like many of Junior’s fans who have a feeling of admiration and gratitude for the star he helped embroider on the shield in 2004.

‘El Zurdo’ made his debut as a professional footballer at the University of Córdoba in 1962 and retired in 1975 at Atlético Nacional, a club where he made his debut as a coach a year later.

During his long coaching career, he has twice managed América de México, with whom he won two league titles in 1985 and a Concacaf Champions League in 1992.

He was also in the Independiente de Avellaneda, with which he raised the title of the South American Super Cup in 1995, and also in the Argentine Boca Juniors, Rosario Central, Ferro Carril Oeste and Arsenal.

He also went through the Mexican Chivas de Guadalajara, Santos Laguna, Toluca, León, Atlético Celaya and Puebla, as well as Al-Ahli from Saudi Arabia and Badajoz from Spain.
