Generation and Delivery of Renewable Energy Based Modern Energy Services in Cuba; the case of Isla de la Juventud

At pipeline entry: Pilot projects for repowering diesel mini-grids with biomass (primarily from citrus fruit) will be conducted on the Isla de la Juventud, followed by replication to the Cuban mainland and the Caribbean region. Other renewable energy sources besides biomass may comprise part of the project. At WP entry: Capacity building measures on a national and local level should create the enabling environment for large private sector involvement into renewable energy supply in Cuba. They are accompanied by the demonstration of business models for renewable energy services and sustainable wood fuel production. Including one demonstration wind project.
