Prince Charles inaugurates Cuba/UK solar project

(26 Mar 2019) Prince Charles inaugurated the first phase of a 250-million US dollar British-led renewable energy project in Mariel Tuesday, part of an ambitious effort to bring solar and alternative energy sources to Cuba. Solar Mariel, a wholly owned British company, will begin providing power to the Port of Mariel and local communities by the end of 2019, and once other phases of the project are complete, will add renewable energy to Cuba's power grid. The Cuban government hopes to have as much as 24 percent of the island's energy needs met by alternative energy sources by 2030, reducing oil-based power generating on the island. The director of Solar Mariel said he hopes to expand island-wide in the coming years, making the British based company a big investor in Cuba's economy. The visit to Cuba by Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla is part of an outreach effort by the British government to expand economic and cultural ties to the island.
