Venezuela's oil chamber expects production to rise during the final months of the year, according to a report carried by El Nacional. State oil company PDVSA plans to reinforce its electricity generation capacity with new units. Those additions would allow the company to operate independently of the national power grid instead of depending on it. The expectation of higher output and the plan for self-sufficient power appear together in the same item. Neither a specific output figure nor a date for the new generation units is given.
