New Minister of Electricity vows to increase power generation

The National Electricity Corporation (Corpoelec) plans to produce 4,000 megawatts (Mw) of power this year to meet domestic demand.

Minister of Electricity Héctor Navarro said in an interview with state-run ANTV that "Venezuela has a wide range of power production. This makes electricity distribution reliable. However, the scourge of energy waste is still present in society. It is an irrational, cultural, and educational problem that must be addressed."

Navarro warned that the culture of waste imposed by the capitalist system is threatening planet Earth.
