Within the presence of Cuba’s Vice Prime Minister Ramiro Valdés and the Minister of Power and Mines Vicente de la O Levy, the outcomes of a research centered on the management and supervision of investments in photovoltaic parks and the upkeep of thermal energy crops had been analyzed within the Trade, Development, and Power Fee of Parliament. In many of the investments reviewed, the mandatory permits, development licenses, endorsements from organizations, contracts, and their scope and updates had been suitably verified.
There have been, nonetheless, defaults in investments in Ciego de Ávila, Guantánamo, and Matanzas. On this final territory, there are investments which have been paralyzed for greater than 5 years and others wouldn’t have the manager mission.
On the nationwide degree, work is being executed to realize a change within the vitality matrix that gives minimal use of fossil fuels and promotes the usage of new types of electrical energy era. It was really useful that work programs be established with native authorities to manage the works, assure the implementation of an efficient mechanism in order that bodily gasoline just isn’t missing, and arrange technical inspections with universities for high quality management. Likewise, it was proposed {that a} system of care be assured for builders, assemblers, and employees on the whole, which incorporates minimizing any security threat and reporting in a well timed method any difficulties that will come up within the funding course of.
The dedication of the employees to scale back the vitality era deficit was confirmed, contemplating that the funding processes beneath growth with renewable vitality sources will assure gasoline financial savings, primarily diesel and gasoline oil, together with a revival of the financial system. Vicente de la O Levy commented {that a} program is being applied in Cuba for the development of 92 photovoltaic parks. “The sources are arriving to produce them, now we have gasoline in Cuba for these works, and progress is being made within the tasks,” he stated.
Vicente de la O Levy famous the significance of electrical firm administrators in controlling the funding course of, and he specified that work was already underway on the civil development of the primary 19 parks—71 containers with sources have already arrived within the nation. “There was a major enhance within the costs of transport corporations that transport containers, however thus far there aren’t any delays in funds. We apply alternate options within the face of difficulties,” he stated.
The minister reported that by the start of subsequent yr “we should have the primary 1,000 MW of era with renewable sources to extend independence from fossil fuels, though the scenario just isn’t utterly resolved.” Vicente de la O Levy defined that altering the vitality matrix of a rustic entails an entire transformation. “I’d even say cultural. Subsequently, what is completed from the bottom is transcendental. It’s a renovation from the underside up. In 2005 or 2006, the primary wind farms had been in-built Gibara. There started the hyperlink with the schools, the wind projection in Cuba, what Fidel had conceived. We’ve got already made progress, as a result of it has been studied, it has been a joint end result for a few years, during which the schools and the ministries of Greater Schooling and Power and Mines have participated,” stated the minister.
Likewise, he stated that the nation is in a scientific-technical place to design a approach to go overseas to finance these tasks. As well as, 9 photovoltaic parks (22 MW) are beneath development, for which provides ought to arrive on the finish of this yr. In the meantime, work is being executed on the Herradura 1 wind farm and on attaining a era of 120 MW, due to a Chinese language donation of twenty-two parks. The primary stage envisions the set up of 35 MW in seven parks, whose sources will arrive within the nation earlier than the top of 2024.
Concerning the electrification of properties remoted from the nationwide electrical system utilizing renewable vitality sources, it was famous that at present 4,256 programs have partial breakdowns, permitting service solely through the day. Likewise, about 1,150 have whole breakdowns. All of those instances should have an answer with the entry into the nation of 5,000 batteries that arrived in July and the three,176 programs that may obtain these batteries.
Consultant Suyén Rodríguez Pérez, from Palma Soriano, referred to the essential contribution to vitality growth that the enterprise system should present. “To attain this, we should insist on the coaching system for high-quality professionals, who can then help the design of cooperation tasks. We’ve got to contain extra and we’re additionally in time so as to add to the self-employed sector,” she stated.
Rodríguez commented that the change within the vitality matrix is a vital actuality. “This course of imposes alternative ways of doing issues and incentives for corporations. Sooner or later, investments should embody self-sufficiency,” she added.
Dayana Beyra Fernández, from the Regla municipality, highlighted this system of the Ministry of Power and Mines with that of Greater Schooling. “They’ve achieved an important alliance between factories and universities to coach college students and so they in flip cowl the wants of the business,” she stated. “This expertise must be transmitted to different organizations.”
Mijaíl Bonachea Crespo, from Sancti Spíritus, additionally referred to the significance of this settlement. “Earlier than this program, the employees on the Sergio Soto oil refinery already labored with this attitude of enchancment, as a part of the inner administration we had. However now, after the settlement, now we have gained potential. Beginning in October, we can have 16 college students working with us, who will even obtain a wage. You will need to contribute to the event and coaching of future professionals and that they, in flip, be taught with us,” he stated.
At present there are 72 photo voltaic parks put in all through the nation (Determine 1) with a complete capability of 226 MW, which obtain an annual electrical era of 310 GWh and save the consumption of 81,000 tons of gasoline per yr. These photo voltaic websites allow the provision of electrical energy to about 289,000 properties at midday peak hours. Moreover, there are 12 MW put in on rooftops, whereas about 24,081 remoted photo voltaic panels are put in in colleges, polyclinics, rural remoted properties, amongst others. The potential of photo voltaic radiation in Cuba is roughly 5 kWh per sq. meter per day.
