Las Tunas, May 15 (RHC-ACN)-Cuban specialists have begun the installation of equipment to measure wind force on the northern coast of Las Tunas province, an area that has been considered by experts to be among the best for the development of wind farms in Cuba.

The study will take approximately a year and will determine the kind of generators that could give the optimal results, looking at the height at which they should be placed, and their potential to contribute to the national electric grid.

Local officials from the Ministry of Science, Technology, and the Environment (CITMA) told the Cuban News Agency that the locale chosen by the experts has the necessary conditions to set up a wind farm, since it does not represent an obstacle to the development of other programs, nor does it demand costly investments.
