Camaguey, May 15th. - An extraordinary effort is being carried out by the brigades immersed in the execution of the Luaces photovoltaic solar park, in the municipality of Vertientes, in the province of Camagüey, to synchronize it in the coming days to the National Electroenergy System (SEN) with the generation of 21.8 megawatts in the peak hours exposure to the sun.
This was acknowledged by Jorge Enrique Sutil Sarabia, governor of the province, when he checked the work of completing that enclave, which responds to the need to migrate towards a more sustainable renewable energy for the well-being of the population.
For his part, Sadiel Estrada Curbelo, general director of the Provincial Electric Company, explained that all technical tests were achieved and synchronized that photovoltaic solar park to the SEN, with the proof of investors both in its minimum and nominal capacity.
This location, he stressed, has seven technological containers of 3,000 125 megawatts each, in addition to 42,588 panels, of 560 megawatts each, and 1,638 tables.
He also commented that work is being done in the photovoltaic solar park of the Civic, in the municipality of Camagüey, and in the area of Ortigal, Florida, which must also contribute 21.8 megawatts each.
Yasdel Valdés Umpierre, director of the Business Unit of Base No.2 of Construction and Assembly No.1, pointed out that they are finishing the foundry of the sidewalks in all the technological containers and the bases against hurricanes, as well as the connection from the entrance to the primary and secondary containers and the auction of the concentrate boxes to avoid the grass near the cables.
Cuba, which is currently going through a complex electroenergetic situation due, among other causes, to limitations with access to fuels as one of the impacts of the escalating economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States government, prioritizes within its development programs the use of renewable energy sources, mainly solar, which does not imply the use of fossil fuels and protect the environment, as carbon dioxide is stopped in the atmosphere.
More than 90 percent of the energy matrix of the Antillean nation operates from fossil fuels, hence the need to follow the projects to extend the use of renewable sources, including that of the sun, and thus take advantage of this promising resource in the Caribbean country. (Text and photo: ACN)
