Due to its geographical location in the tropical latitude, the country is extremely well endowed with solar energy. Studies on climate conditions provide confirmatory evidence of around 2 800 sunshine hours (32% of utilization factor) annually. The daily average solar energy that reaches Cuban land throughout the year is 5 kWh/m 2 .
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.
Other limitations are related to the geopolitical situation of Cuba. While wind and solar use free energy once installed, they require a significant and immediate investment. However, due to the embargo affecting the country, the Cuban authorities have difficulty accessing the banking system to borrow the money necessary for investments.
Electricity production of Cuba in 2015 sorted by technologies and resources, the energy consumption column corresponds to the primary resources needed to produce the amount of electricity in the column called electricity production with the current Cuban energy system. Thermoelectric power plants have an installed capacity of 2.59 GW.
