CUBA: Gas-Fired Power Plant To Be Built In Cienfuegos.

Canadian energy firm Sherritt International will build a gas-fired power plant in Cienfuegos, 250-miles from Havana, along with Venezuela's PDVSA. The new Energas plant will have a 150-megawatt capacity and be fueled by gas from the Cienfuegos oil refinery.

Editor's Note: Look for more deterioration of picturesque Cienfuegos' now borderline air quality. Cuba talks about pollution...but does little about it.
