Cuba promises solar energy, lacks battery storage solutions.
Cuba aims for solar energy growth, but lacks essential battery storage. Explore the challenges and solutions. Act now for change!
Cuba's energy sector is at a crossroads. The country's mostly fossil fuel-fired energy system faces a number of longstanding and serious challenges, including breakdowns at aging power plants, decreasing fuel imports and fuel shortages, and the growing threat of climate change-related disruptions.
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.
Over the past 10 years, Cuba has begun to embark on an energy transition. Recent shifts in law and policy create new and promising opportunities and indicate a desire on the part of Cuba's policymakers to transition to a cleaner, more climate resilient energy system.
Compounding these problems, Cuba is facing a severe economic crisis. In 2022, year-on-year inflation was 39% (down from 77% in 2021). While inflation is estimated to have dropped to 30% in 2023, the price of food increased 78%.
