Cuba currently operates 186 renewable parks generating 25% of its electricity. But here's the kicker – less than 15% have proper energy storage systems. "We're basically throwing away sunlight after sunset," admits a technician at Pinar del Río's solar farm. However, an estimated 50 MW of this. . Yet Cuba's power outages increased by 23% in 2023 despite adding 450MW solar capacity. This article analyses those successes and looks at the policy challenges ahead for Cuba to achieve its 2030 energy policy. . Although solar resource mapping is widespread, Cuba lacks extensive field measurements, often relying on models that may not be ideally suited for large regions, like Matanzas province.
