The objective is clear: develop one thousand MW of solar power by constructing around fifty photovoltaic parks throughout Cuba. Nevertheless, this initiative stands on precarious ground due to a critical lack of battery storage facilities.

The plan aims for one thousand megawatts of solar energy by 2025, but without installed batteries, which prevents meeting nighttime demand and limits its effectiveness against persistent blackouts. The Cuban government announced that it plans to incorporate one thousand megawatts (MW) of solar.
The Cabaiguán photovoltaic park, with a capacity of 21.87 MW, located in the central province of Sancti Spíritus, began operations after just over two months of installation. This is part of Cuba’s national plan that calls for the construction of 55 solar parks by 2025, each with a capacity of 21.8.
The Cuban government has unveiled a bold initiative to introduce one thousand megawatts (MW) of solar energy into the National Electric System (SEN) by 2025. This effort, which involves establishing approximately fifty photovoltaic parks across the nation, aims to address Cuba’s persistent energy.
On Saturday, Cuba initiated the installation of solar energy storage batteries at four electrical substations, marking a significant step in addressing its energy challenges. These Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), also referred to as "concentrator units," are being placed at Cueto 220, Bayamo.
HAVANA TIMES – On February 21, 2025, the first solar photovoltaic park was inaugurated, with a capacity of 21.8 MW. The project, located in Cotorro—on the outskirts of Havana—is part of the island’s government’s bet on solar energy to address the country’s dire electricity situation. According to.
