Energy Storage in Cuba: Challenges, Innovations, and the Road
With its aging power infrastructure and reliance on imported fossil fuels, Cuba''s push for energy storage solutions isn''t just trendy—it''s survival. Over the past decade, blackouts
In the Int-a and Int-b scenarios, Cuba still needs to import refined fuels which are mainly required by the industrial and transport sectors. Therefore, energy security can be improved by reducing the oil subproducts demanded by these activity macro sectors (i.e. MS1 and MS7).
The shift demand from fuels to electricity in transport and industry is necessary to enhance energy security. This study evaluated the possibilities of energy transition in Cuba 2030. Cuba is currently in a vulnerable energy situation since it strongly depends on the importation of fossil energy.
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.
2.2.2. Electricity production The Cuban government is aiming to match future energy needs with a more self-reliant supply. Its strategy consists of reducing the importation of energy by producing more domestic resources.
