(B2) The announcement is made by the Spanish Navy. The marines of Castilla, the ship of the Armada sent to Haiti, have completed the repair of the power station which supplies the three municipalities of the region of Petit-Goave (Haiti), a locality located approximately 70 km from Port- to the Prince.

This ensures supply for 12 hours a day. For this, the Marines repaired and above all repositioned the 2 generating sets of the power plant and the fuel tank. Under the impact of the earthquake, everything had been moved and jostled.

However, the problem still remains the lack of fuel supply. But the Spaniards hope that with the normalization of the arrival of supplies in Haiti (rehabilitation of the port, roads and airport), and the repairs carried out, we will quickly return to a supply of electricity in the city. at 24 hours a day.

Castilla is part of the European effort to deal with the earthquake that struck the island of Haiti, coordinated in the military part by the EUCO cell of Sitcen (the situation center of the European Union)
