MOSCOW: Russia and Cuba signed a contract for the construction of the power units in Cuba last year. Under the deal, Russia is expected to be involved in the construction of four 200-megawatt units at two power plants.
“The amount of investments that our companies, with the involvement of credit resources, are ready to make is about 1.2 billion euros,” Inyutsin said.

Moscow expects details of the project to be determined “in the near future,” Inyutsin added.
Cuba and Russia have enjoyed warm relations dating back to Soviet times. Moscow and Havana currently cooperate closely in energy and civil aviation, and are working on a program to modernize Cuba’s power plants.
