CUBA - to resist to energetic crisis

The Evangelical Theological Seminary, in Matanzas (200 km from Havana) develops its academic programs in a semi-residential mode. Students from each study program come to the SET campus for four one-week meetings per year.During the entire academic year, SET welcomes more than eight hundred people among students, professors and visitors.

Due to the current electricity crisis affecting the country, in which the electrical service is interrupted every day for seven to fourteen hours, it is necessary to have alternative systems of production and/or replacement of electric power. Solar water heaters are, in this sense, an appropriate means to save electricity and at the same time provide a certain level of comfort to people who stay and work in our facilities.

The support provided by the FAP contributed to the purchase, transport and installation of about ten devices. for the various campus facilities: accommodation buildings for students, teachers, and visitors, and the SET kitchen.
