STUDY CONTRIBUTION We believe this study will be one of the greatest contributions, prior to the transition, to assist in the economic recuperation of Cuba.
Cuba: Electrical Energy (at 1959) • Compañía Cubana de Electricidad (CCE). CCE was a subsidiary of the American and Foreign Power Company, previously part of the Electric Bond and Share Co.-EBASCO. CCE’s service territory included the Eastern part of Pinar del Río province, La Habana, Matanzas, Las Villas, Camaguey, and the Southern part of the Oriente province. • Hernandez y Hermanos. Its service territory included the western part of Pinar del Rio province and the cities of Trinidad, Casilda and several towns in Las Villas province. • Tabares. Its service territory included the northern and central part of the Pinar del Rio province. • Islas de Pinos Utility. Covering Isla de Pinos. • Many other spotted areas were served by the large sugar mill industry or the larger industrial complexes in the Island.
Structure of Report • The study has been divided into three parts or periods of time, that defines clearly the stages the electrical system in Cuba has gone through: • 1959-1989 • 1990-1997 • 1998-2008 • The emphasis on the report is on the last period, since it is the period of interest for the purpose of the study.
TOTAL INVESTMENT FOR ADDITIONAL POWER * By 2012 Cuba will need at least 500 MW of additional installed power
ENERGAS OUTPUT/CONSUMPTION * NOTE: 5.50 MMBtu per barrel of No.2 Fuel oil 6.38 MMtu per barrel of No.6 Fuel oil
PROJECTED FUEL COST BASED ON 2008 MARKET CONDITIONS* *Note that these projections are subject to change at any time, and in fact can change daily.
FUTURE INVESTMENT TRANSMISSION LINES* * Refer to section on Transmission lines for required assumptions
COST/INVESTMENT SUBSTATION TRANSFORMERS* * Cost varies with transformer kVA
COST/INVESTMENT PAD MOUNTED TRANSFORMERS* *Cost varies with transformer kVA
COST/INVESTMENT POLE MOUNTEDTRANSFORMERS* *Cost varies with kVA, number of phases ** Cuba manufactures 15,000/year
Total Installed Capacity • The present installed capacity, considering the seven main thermoelectric plants is, in round numbers, 3,000 MW. • The Grupo Electrogeno, or Distributed generation, has an installed capacity of 1,500 MW, and the Energas system, 400 MW. • The total installed capacity is then 4,900 MW. • However, the total generating capacity is around 3,200 MW, that is, 65% of the installed capacity.
Cuba’s Overall Energy Infrastructure • Cuba's overall energy infrastructure – from refineries to power-generating plants to electrical grids to local wiring – is in an advanced state of decay, and will require significant investment to upgrade. • Although American companies are currently precluded from involvement by U.S. law, they would seem the logical choice for upgrading Cuba's power grid once the transition to democracy is in place.
