Delivery of Renewable Energy Based Modern Services in
Cuba - The case of Isla de la Juventud
The project will install:
• a large biomass gasifier plant (3.5
MW) for power generation,
Biomass power plant on
the Isla de la Juventud
• four gasifier applications (about 6 MW
thermal) to be placed at four industrial
sites for heat production
• wind farm to produce 1.5 MW of
electricity
Total project budget: US$ 5,337,000

islands in the Maldives
• Solar PV - Hybrid Wind was
installed at Goidhoo and Fainu
Island
• Possibility to scaling up of such a
RE project, since the region has
vast wind and solar potential

Example: Promoting business models for increasing
penetration and scaling up of solar energy in India
•Objective: promoting industrial applications of solar energy in selected
industrial sectors in India
•Primary focus on medium to high temperature applications (i.e. between 150
and 400° C)
•Target sectors include Food Processing Industry, Paper and Pulp, Fertilizer,
Breweries, Pharmaceutical, Textile (Finishing), Refineries, Rubber,
Desalination.
•The pharmaceutical, food processing, dairy and breweries industries are the
largest industrial users of process cooling.
