shortage
HAVANA, Cuba, October (Ariel Delgado Covarrubias,
UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - Authorities have
announced that they will start construction
early next year on a power plant that will
generate electricity from wood splinters
in the Isle of Youth, south of Havana province,
according to a report published in the government
daily Juventud Rebelde.
The plant is projected to have a generating
capacity of 3 to 5 megawatts, according
to Rolando Padrón, of the Cuban Institute
of Forestry Studies, and will be part of
a study undertaken jointly with the UN's
Food and Agriculture Organization.
The plan calls for planting 3,000 hectares
(7410 acres) to supply the plant, at the
rate of 400 hectares (988 acres) per year.
