This project is the second phase of an ongoing initiative to fully renovate Havana’s high voltage transmission system and medium and low-voltage distribution network with a view to securing sustainable, reliable power supplies for both industrial and domestic customers.
Phase II will complete and complement the work carried out under Phase I and expand the number of beneficiaries from one million to one-and-a-half million people. The newly-upgraded network will improve quality of life for the city’s residents and encourage the development of tourist-related businesses, a major source of income for the country.
