The project has been developed by the state construction company, Empresa Constructora de Obras de Arquitectura 19, of the Cuban Construction Ministry and has been supported by other teams from this agency and the island’s Ministry of Basic Industry.
The wind farm consists of six 750-kW Goldwind turbines and the energy produced will be delivered to the National Electricity System (SEN), through a 33-kV cable connecting the wind power development area to the Gibara substation.
Pedro Dorta, investor in Gibara II, said that specialists from the Chinese firm that manufactures the 50-metre high, fixed-pitch wind turbines have been working alongside the Cubans.
The Gibara I wind farm is also sited in Gibara, in the northern province of Holguin. This facility is fitted with Spanish variable-pitch technology (Gamesa wind turbines) and has already contributed more than 7,000 MWh to the SEN.
