The project will rehabilitate Havana’s high voltage transmission system and medium and low-voltage distribution network. This will be carried via the following works:

  • repair and construction of substations and power lines;
  • installation of lightning rods;
  • modernization of underground networks in Havana’s historic district;
  • upgrading of meters, power lines and other equipment connecting the distribution network to approximately 435,000 households, as well as major industrial and commercial premises; and
  • provision of training to staff of Empresa Eléctrica de Ciudad de la Habana, Havana’s largest provincial electricity provider.
The newly-rehabilitated network will lead to improved living standards for some 1.5 million people.
