Cuba
to Build Windfarms to Generate Power
Trying to assimilate and expand power generation
through the force of winds, Cuba will build
three windfarms in 2077, for a gradual take off
of that energy, according to government
authorities.
Besides the installation opened in the Isle of
Youth in February, 2007, another one is being
built in the city of Gibara, in Holguin province
northern coast, with six generators, while
another station in that same province has been
planned.
They three, together with the installation that
is has been operating in Turiguano island since
1999, will modestly contribute in mid 2008, 11,7
megawatts, but feasibility studies are being
carried out to reach higher levels of
wind-driven generators in the future, they
asserted.
According to the experts, those windfarms were
conceived to gain experience in the negotiation,
construction, assembly, implementation, and
operation of several technologies, as a starting
point for the country´s eolian development.
