GDP/Capita & Electricity 2007
• Chile & Costa Rica have increased GDP/capita much
faster than Cuba in 1959-2007; social indicators are
similar in the 3 countries (Carmelo Mesa-Lago book)
• DR has caught up and its GDP/capita is similar to
Cuba’s
• All countries essentially have universal coverage
• Electricity consumption/capita is similar in Cuba & DR

• Oil & diesel accounts for 70-80% of generation costs; Cuba 5th
in the World in
2003 after Yemen, Iraq, Benin & Jamaica in use of liquid fuels for generation
• Labor efficiency very low
• Technical losses high (16%)

Generation
• Cuba needs to diversify energy sources to reduce
reliance on liquid fuels
• For new generation capacity Cuba should promote
greater use of
1. Gas (will depend on domestic availability)
2. Coal (will require bulk import handling facilities)
3. Biofuels including bagazze (would depend largely on
revitalization of sugar industry)
4. Wind (becoming more competitive today)
5. Mini-hydro (fairly limited)
6. Solar (costs are still high)
• Tariff free imports of machinery & equipment for
renewable generation & reasonable tax breaks could
reduce over reliance on liquid fuels
31
Conclusions
• Lack of reliable data makes analysis very difficult
• Power sector suffered since the collapse of USSR
but now blackouts not as common as in 2004-06
• UE rates do not cover economic costs
• UE: expensive fuel, low labor productivity & high
losses
• UEs economic loss almost $3 billion or around 6%
of GDP (oil price $140/bbl)
• Reform to promote private participation would be
necessary during a transition
• Well-designed system of incentives to decrease
reliance on liquid fuels should be implemented

  • 16. 29 Generation • Cuba needs to diversify energy sources to reduce reliance on liquid fuels • For new generation capacity Cuba should promote greater use of 1. Gas (will depend on domestic availability) 2. Coal (will require bulk import handling facilities) 3. Biofuels including bagazze (would depend largely on revitalization of sugar industry) 4. Wind (becoming more competitive today) 5. Mini-hydro (fairly limited) 6. Solar (costs are still high) • Tariff free imports of machinery & equipment for renewable generation & reasonable tax breaks could reduce over reliance on liquid fuels
  • 17. 31 Conclusions • Lack of reliable data makes analysis very difficult • Power sector suffered since the collapse of USSR but now blackouts not as common as in 2004-06 • UE rates do not cover economic costs • UE: expensive fuel, low labor productivity & high losses • UEs economic loss almost $3 billion or around 6% of GDP (oil price $140/bbl) • Reform to promote private participation would be necessary during a transition • Well-designed system of incentives to decrease reliance on liquid fuels should be implemented

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. FO – Fuel Oil RP – Refined Products CO – Crude Oil LNG – Liquefied Natural Gas Sherritt’ Gas-Fired Plants are located in Boca de Jaruco, Puerto Escondido and Varadero for a combined total of 376 MW, expected to increase to 526 MW in 2009 with the addition of a new 150 MW CC unit at Boca de Jaruco LNG was estimated at the rate of 1 CF of LNG ~ 1,020 BTU, and 1 kWh of electricity = 3,413 BTU. Plant capacity of 450 MW assumed to operate at 80%. See Sherritt Annual Report 2007 – http://www.sherritt.com/doc08/files/financials/2007%20Annual%20Report/2007_SIC_AR.pdf Sales Revenue was estimated on the basis of: An estimate of the number of domestic and foreign customers and their respective consumption levels. Unit prices assumed at different currencies and uniform application throughout the entire customers’ base. An initial currency conversion rate of 1 CUP per 1 USD. A sensitivity analysis was later performed for different exchange rates. Electricity consumption levels for all consumer groups were increased by 3% with respect to the levels of 2006. The official report Anuario Estadístico used the same approach for 2007. Fuel consumption for electricity production was assumed at productivity values between 12 and 15kWh/gallon of fuel. Metric tons of fuel consumed – as reported by the Anuario Estadistico 2007 – were converted to volumetric units of barrels of oil assuming densities between 7.5 and 9 barrels per ton of oil. Capital stock was estimated at an average replacement cost of $850/kW of installed nominal power generation capacity in 2007 US$. Transmission lines were valued at an average replacement cost of $29,000/km. No investments were assumed on transformers and substations. Annual capital costs were discounted at a 10% rate and a 20-year period used for similar infrastructure projects. O&M costs were assumed at 1.5% of the annual capital costs. Fuel and Crude oil prices, and refining margins were based on US figures reported by EIA.
  2. Caveat on volumes, etc
  3. Log Consumption/capita = - 2.27 + 1.41 Log GDP PPP/capita R2 = 0.7821
  4. Get graph w. GDP & energy consumption
  5. Can we get data back to 1958?
  6. Think more about this concept VA by power sector negligible. How can this be? Need to discuss Energy as % of GDP at different exchange rates
  7. #1 Develop Infrastructure Strategy. USG should support reformers POSSIBLE ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE 6-7 Private DISTCOS: regulated 10 private GENCOS; maybe one or more coal-fired base load plants; wind power; unregulated, except for environmental concerns; contracts reviewed by regulator One state-owned transmission company One market operator: government or owned my market participants (“club”) AGENDA FOR ACTION Plan A: support UE to improve control systems to introduce discipline & minimize asset stripping and tunneling If A not feasible, Plan B: performance-based management contract to introduce discipline & minimize asset stripping and tunneling Minimum investment to “keep the lights on” Develop laws, regulations and institutions to encourage private participation Establish regulatory agency separate from policy ministry
  8. Can we do a graph like the next slide????
  9. We need to discuss this graph
