In the short term, the investment project consists of installing 1,000 MW of solar photovoltaic energy by 2025, distributed across 46 solar parks throughout the country. By 2025, 200 MW of battery systems will be installed to store solar energy, key to stabilizing the grid. The energy stabilization program also includes the repair of the country's thermoelectric plants, which have been the backbone of the. 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. Cuba's recent large-scale blackouts highlight the country's failure to expand its solar power infrastructure, despite its commitments under the Paris Agreement and ongoing energy shortages.
