After the revolution, many new industries appeared in Cuba, which require a large amount of electricity. Now demand has increased from both manufacturing enterprises and from household use. In addition, construction, developing rapidly recently, requires additional energy costs.
It’s no secret that the tourist business in Cuba is developing most successfully. It is planned even in Havana the construction of the Museum of Tourism. Exhibits showing the level of tourist services before the revolution and after it will be presented here. Of course, tourists will be happy to visit the museum.
But besides the museum, new comfortable buildings for living are being built for tourists. To ensure a high level of comfort, various modern devices are used, such as Wilo submersible pumps, for example.
In 1959, the total capacity of power plants was 932 thousand. Ket. This capacity, of course, is not enough to provide modern enterprises. You can conditionally divide the consumption of electricity into 3 sectors. The first is public enterprises, it is about 74% of expenses. This sector includes energy consumption by ordinary Cubans. Their houses are equipped with new devices that provide comfort and coziness, for example, Baxi thermal convectors. The second – sugar factories, it is about 14% of expenses. The third – other plants – is about 12%.
2 energy systems work in Cuba – Western and Eastern. It is they who provide the whole country with the necessary supply of electricity. Understanding the need to modernize the systems, measures are taken, thanks to which the power of power plants increases.
However, this is not the only direction that is under the control of the government. As already mentioned, much attention is paid to the development of the tourism business in Cuba. For this, not only the construction of hotels and hotels is carried out, but also the level of service is increased. For this purpose, the maintenance personnel even undergo an internship in Europe.
Regarding the construction industry, which is also developing and improving, it can be noted that new production enterprises that produce building materials are opening in Cuba. For example, cardboard created from reeds is popular. Of course, the work of the new enterprise is needed by electricity supplied from modernized power plants.
