Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2016, the Chinese Government committed to a loan for the construction of a 20MW bioelectric plant attached to the Héctor Rodríguez sugar mill in Villa Clara to be run by AZCUBA, the umbrella organization leading the Cuban sugar industry. The face value and terms of the loan are unknown. All Cuban companies that deal with the production of sugar, sugar by-products(or bagasse), and electricity are managed by AZCUBA. On July 6, 2020, a news source indicated that plant construction commenced.

Staff comments

This is similar to the bioelectric plant from #69924--which is a separate plant.
