Castro to Buy 21 Danish Generators

Cuba purchased 21 generators from a factory in Denmark`s northern Jutland,
Danish regional newspapers reported Tuesday.
To meet growing energy needs, Cuba acquired 21 generators worth
approximately $26.7 million from MAN B&W Diesel in Frederikshavn.
The unusually large order represents more than 20 percent of a year`s
production of motors at the factory.
The generators, which will be used in six new power stations in Cuba, will
all be delivered in 2006. The first shipment will be delivered in January.
The two sides negotiated the order over the past over six months; final
confirmation of the order was signed by Cuban leader Fidel Castro Monday.
