Si bien existieron restricciones energéticas a **grandes usuarios** (industriales y comerciales durante el pasado invierno), la caída que sufrió la producción manufacturera durante junio y julio por este motivo, fue más que compensada en los meses subsiguientes.
Any help? "Great users" sounds sort of Spanglish to me and it seems Google agrees.
TIA!

Large users/consumers
Large Consumers
The wholesale electricity market classifies large users of energy into three categories: Major Large Users (Grandes Usuarios Mayores, or GUMAs), Minor Large Users (Grandes Usuarios Menores, or GUMEs) and Particular Large Users (Grandes Usuarios Particulares, or GUPAs).
Each of these categories of users has different requirements with respect to purchases of their energy demand. For example, GUMAs are required to purchase 50% of their demand through supply contracts and the remainder in the spot market, while GUMEs and GUPAs are required to purchase all of their demand through supply contracts.
