How many solar parks will Cuba build by ?
The Cuban government’s plan is to install 55 solar parks similar to the one in Cotorro by . The total capacity will be 1,200 MW. These are part of a broader project running until , which aims to build 92 parks, with the goal of adding more than 2,000 MW to the National Electro-Energy System.
What is a solar park plan in Cuba?
The objective of the solar park plan in Cuba is the construction of a total of 92 photovoltaic installations which, according to the official schedule, should be completed before . Each of these parks would have a capacity of 21,87 MW, which would allow for an estimated total generation of around 3.400 gigawatts/hour per year.
How many photovoltaic solar parks are there in Cuba?
Cuba began the construction of 59 photovoltaic solar parks with the idea of reducing dependence on fossil fuels and creating other wastelands in which clean energy is the main resource for electricity consumption. Of these 59 solar parks, it is expected that: 33 are completed within the current year, synchronizing with the national energy system.
How much energy can Cuba save by installing a new power plant?
Experts project that this new installed capacity will allow save up to 490.000 tons of diesel and fuel oil, the two most expensive and polluting sources of energy, and reduce CO2 emissions by 2,8 million tons per year. This set of initiatives underlines the Cuban government's recognition of the energy potential in renewable energy.
Why should Cuba invest in solar energy?
Cuba intends to be a active participant in global objectives on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In this sense, solar energy is one of the most promising renewable sources in Cuba and a fundamental pillar in its strategy of transition to clean energy.
What is the Cotorro solar project?
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 Ricardo Mengana, director of the Renewable Energy Sources Company, the Cotorro park began operating in test mode on the Monday prior to its inauguration.
