After winning a $1.7 million contract to supply technology to Cuba, Deep Sea Electronics, a North Yorkshire manufacturer of control systems for the power generation industry, will distribute more than 4,000 generators for the project which is expected take 18 months to complete. The systems will help alleviate Cuba's growing electricity problems, caused by lack of investment which has resulted in frequent blackouts and energy shortages – a situation made worse by
Hurricane Ivan. The company has recently invested $1.3 million to extend its production facilities at Hunmanby, near Filey, to prepare for future expansion. (Source: Yorkshire Post Today)
