He said Power Plants 1 and 4 will have available fuel supply until Thursday.
Rota will continue to have fuel supply for a week while CUC tries to make a payment of $400,000 for the delivery of fuel for Tinian on Monday.
Muna said he has been reminding the administration and the Legislature about CUC’s fuel needs since May 19.
He said CUC requested $1.2 million a week so it can pay for the fuel needed by its power plants.
“The governor needs to reprogram. I can’t keep running an operation that is headed for a disaster,” he added.
Muna has already tendered his resignation but will remain with CUC until the governor names his replacement.
In related news, CUC recorded a new peak on June 8, the highest in three years, according to its assistant executive director Abe Utu Malae.
The peak load was 45 megawatts, he said yesterday.
“The power demand from our customers went up. It’s the highest in three years,” he said.
The huge power demand occurred from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., he added.
In the last few years, CUC’s peak was only 42 megawatts.
Malae attributed the high peak load to an increase in the use of air-conditioning units because of the island’s hot weather condition.
CUC is currently generating 60 megawatts but only uses 45 megawatts, he added.
