Cuba, Guatemala to Co-op
in Energy
Cuba will cooperate with
Guatemala in the
implementation of an
energy development
program to ease the
current crisis triggered
by soaring world oil
prices.
Cuban technicians will
work in Guatemala in the
implementation of an
energy-saving plan by
changing incandescent
light bulbs for energy
saving compact
fluorescent ones,
sparing the country from
spending several
millions of dollars a
year.
The Cuban experience,
successfully applied in
about 15 countries, will
start implementation in
August or September,
Cuban Ambassador Omar
Morales told Prensa
Latina.
More than two million
people will benefit from
this program, which is
expected to reduce
tariffs significantly,
as the country suffers a
widespread surge in
prices due to a
worldwide increase in
crude and basic grain
prices.
