Last Friday journalist Bernardo Espinosa reported on his Facebook page on the official ceremony for the handover of three photovoltaic parks at “La Criolla” in Santo Domingo, in Villa Clara province.
The Chinese Agency for International Cooperation and Development donation to Cuba of the three solar parks will generate a total 12 megawatts of energy to the municipality of Villa Clara. They will be synchronized to the National Electric System (SEN). The Asian powerhouse, China, provides its support to the island on its path towards energy sovereignty. The parks contribute to the goals of the island’s Green Energy Strategy to 2030.
This milestone signifies the commencement of a sustainable investment drive aimed at integrating 1,000 MW into Cuba’s energy framework, while endeavoring to curtail fuel consumption in electricity production.
Those in attendance included the Vice Prime Minister of the Republic, Commander of the Revolution Ramiro Valdés Menéndez, and the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China, Ma Hui, with other Cuban officials of Villa Clara province, and the municipality of Santo Domingo.
