China implements a renewable energy programme in Cuba
The provinces of Villa Clara, Ciego de Avila and Holguin are currently installing three photovoltaic parks donated by China.
There are 75 solar parks in the country, providing 254 megawatts of power and saving 110,000 tonnes of fuel per year. This is reported by Prensa Latina, a partner of TV BRICS.
In addition, 360,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide are no longer emitted into the environment as a result of this clean energy.
The installation of the equipment in Holguin is 63 per cent complete and the facility, located in the municipality of Freire, will serve hundreds of homes next March.
Crews from the neighbouring provinces of Santiago de Cuba and Guantanamo are working to place 8,480 photovoltaic cells on an area of five hectares.
