Con La Ayuda De China, Cuba Lleva Adelante Una De Las Revoluciones Solares Más Rápidas Del Planeta
China exported $117 million in solar panels to Cuba in 2025 as renewable power rose to about 10% of the electricity mix, Ember said.
- Cuba has rapidly expanded its solar energy capacity to 10% of the country's electricity, up from 3% in 2024, driven by Chinese investment and dozens of new solar parks across the island.
- The shift follows devastating nationwide blackouts in March that cut electricity for roughly 10 million residents, as a United States-led oil blockade strangled fuel supplies and forced the government to prioritize renewable energy.
- Chinese exports of solar panels to Cuba surged to $117 million in 2025, with the country installing approximately 1 gigawatt of capacity over the past 12 months and planning 92 solar parks by 2028.
- While some residents in Santa Clara now use solar-powered charging stations, most Cubans have yet to see tangible benefits; economist Ricardo Torres at American University noted solar "sounds nice on paper, but you've got to have the resources."
- Achieving full electricity transition would cost $19 billion, according to the Transition Security Project, though experts warn China's support has limits and Cuba struggles to repay loans amid economic crisis.
