Industries in Cuba shut down due to power shortage

HAVANA, Cuba, October (Ariel Delgado Covarrubias, UPECI / www.cubanet.org ) - 

Authorities have announced that they will start construction early next year on a power plant that will generate electricity from wood splinters in the Isle of Youth, south of Havana province, according to a report published in the government daily Juventud Rebelde.

The plant is projected to have a generating capacity of 3 to 5 megawatts, according to Rolando Padrón, of the Cuban Institute of Forestry Studies, and will be part of a study undertaken jointly with the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization.

The plan calls for planting 3,000 hectares (7410 acres) to supply the plant, at the rate of 400 hectares (988 acres) per year.
