China helps Cuba fight blackouts, strengthen
The Chinese aid will help Cuba''s plan to build 92 solar installations by 2028, adding about 2,000 megawatts to the island''s power grid and help
Cuba began the construction of 59 photovoltaic solar parks with the idea of reducing dependence on fossil fuels and creating other wastelands in which clean energy is the main resource for electricity consumption. Of these 59 solar parks, it is expected that: 33 are completed within the current year, synchronizing with the national energy system.
The Cuban government's plan is to install 55 solar parks similar to the one in Cotorro by 2025. The total capacity will be 1,200 MW. These are part of a broader project running until 2028, which aims to build 92 parks, with the goal of adding more than 2,000 MW to the National Electro-Energy System.
This greatly underdeveloped energy source is slowly making its way across the island: there are currently more than 6,000 photovoltaic panels and 1,500 solar heaters in use. The installed solar energy generating capacity in Cuba is around 3 megawatts, or 0.07 % of the total installed capacity.
The objective of the solar park plan in Cuba is the construction of a total of 92 photovoltaic installations which, according to the official schedule, should be completed before 2028. Each of these parks would have a capacity of 21,87 MW, which would allow for an estimated total generation of around 3.400 gigawatts/hour per year.
Cuba intends to be a active participant in global objectives on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In this sense, solar energy is one of the most promising renewable sources in Cuba and a fundamental pillar in its strategy of transition to clean energy.
HAVANA TIMES – On February 21, 2025, the first solar photovoltaic park was inaugurated, with a capacity of 21.8 MW. The project, located in Cotorro—on the outskirts of Havana—is part of the island's government's bet on solar energy to address the country's dire electricity situation.
