Karpowership’s floating power plant Belgin Sultan has reportedly reached Havana to support Cuba’s electricity system after repeated nationwide grid failures in March, according to Turkish media materials.
The unit is said to have been leased from Karpowership, part of Karadeniz Holding, and positioned in the Cuban capital to stabilise an aging, fuel-constrained grid. Reports indicate the vessel has already moored in Havana.
The move follows a series of major system breakdowns, including a full grid collapse on March 16 affecting about 10 million people and a second collapse on March 21, marking the third large-scale outage within the month.
Karpowership states its powerships can be deployed within 30 days, with a global fleet exceeding 8,000 MW of installed capacity.
No official confirmation of the Havana deployment could be identified on Karpowership’s public website.
Karpowership is a Turkey-based company focused on the development, construction and operation of floating power plants and related energy infrastructure, including LNG-linked assets. The company operates internationally under long- and medium-term power supply agreements with sovereign and utility counterparties.
Karadeniz Holding is a privately held industrial group with activities spanning energy, shipbuilding and maritime operations, developing mobile power generation solutions through its subsidiaries.
