Cuba plans to build seven wind farms financed by foreign investors under a program aimed at developing renewable energy sources in the medium term, Energy and Mines Minister Alfredo Lopez said.

The project is part of an effort by the island to generate 24 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, with officials planning to attract more than $600 million in foreign investment.

Cuba plans to build six other wind farms using different sources of funds as it boosts clean energy generation.

Slightly more than 4 percent of the island's electricity is generated using renewable sources today, the official AIN news agency said
