Building a cleaner, more resilient energy system in Cuba:
Building a Cleaner, More Resilient Energy System in Cuba recommends numerous ways by which domestic policy in Cuba can prioritize working towards a more sustainable, resilient grid — especially by investing in the energy transition — and ways in which international cooperation can support these goals.
Cubans Can Now Import Solar Panels Without Paying Duty
14ymedio, Havana, July 29, 2021 — In the midst of a pressing electricity shortage, the Cuban government has taken a step demanded by the population to authorize the duty-free import of photovoltaic systems, including parts and pieces of panels that generate energy by direct transformation of sunlight into electricity.
New Law in Cuba Mandates Renewable Energy Sources
Project leader Felix Morfis, also a representative of Cubasolar – a non-governmental organization promoting renewable energy in Cuba since 1994 – criticizes the high prices of solar panels and bureaucratic hurdles in obtaining loans to purchase them. "It seems the government has no real interest in people installing solar panels.
Better Incentives Needed to Expand Solar Energy in Cuba
Large consumers in the residential sector could find in the installation of solar panels a way to offset the amount of their energy bill through cogeneration for self-consumption or receive a payment for injecting clean energy into the national power grid.

Solar Energy Outlook in Cuba
Solar energy potential in Cuba is high when considering that the country''s geographic position can enable a generation of 5kWh per square meter – about the average daily usage of one household. Although solar energy projects have thus far been limited to remote areas, capacity has increased considerably in recent years.
