Thus, eight photovoltaic solar parks have come online this year, each with a capacity of 21.8 MW, out of the 92 facilities that make up the so-called Project B, which proposes to install 1,000 MW connected to the countrys National Electricity System (SEN). Last Thursday, the Mango Dulce solar park was inaugurated in the municipality of Artemisa, in the province of the same name. This month, the synchronization of six 21.8 MW photovoltaic parks with the National Electric System (SEN) was completed. In addition to Artemisa, the other parks are located in La Sabana, Granma; Remedios, Villa Clara; La Corúa, Holguín; Jovellanos, Matanzas; and Ciego Norte, Ciego de Ávila. These six new parks must be added to the two already in operation since February, both also with 21.8 MW, the first of them being the Escuela de Enfermería solar park , located in the Cotorro municipality, southeast of Havana, followed by Alcalde Mayor, in Abreus, Cienfuegos. There are a total of 92 solar installations that make up the so-called Project B, which proposes installing 1,000 MW connected to the SEN, and which, together with Project A, will contribute 2,000 MW to the SEN, including 400 MW of distributed storage, according to information released in an official statement. Cuba plans to install 54 additional solar farms by 2025, with the goal of reaching a total capacity of 1,200 MW . This is intended to improve the national electricity system and reduce the islands frequent power outages. The official goal is to achieve 24% renewable energy penetration by 2030. According to IRENAs recent global report on renewable energy, Cuba ended 2024 with an estimated installed photovoltaic capacity of 292 MW. |
