More than Six Thousand Windmills Installed in Cuba

Havana, July 9 (acn) More than six thousand windmills have already been 
installed in Cuba as part of the country's efforts to develop the use 
of renewable sources of energy.

Among the beneficiaries of these mills are several hundreds of 
facilities of the Agriculture Ministry related to cattle-raising.

According to Conrado Moreno, director of the Technical University of 
Renewable Energy, the first windmills arrived in Cuba early in the 20th 
century and, at first, they were used in the province of CamagC<ey.

Moreno added that CamagC<ey also witnessed the construction of the first 
Cuban-made windmills although today they are only made in the provinces 
of Pinar del RC-o and Granma.

The installation of windmills in Cuba is also part of the energy-saving 
program or Energy Revolution underway on the island since 2005.
