Coverage includes generation and storage systems, renewable energy installations (hydropower, solar PV, wind, biomass, ocean, and solar thermal), electrical grid history and characteristics, and an analysis of Cuba’s electrical energy resiliency.
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.
Every time solar and wind capacity is progressively increased, Cuban authorities will save on fuel costs and achieve environmental improvements and energy security. The money saved could be gradually reinvested in new solar and wind power installations.
