Get a quoteBuilding 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.
Cuba’s energy sector is at a crossroads. The country’s mostly fossil fuel-fired energy system faces a number of longstanding and serious challenges, including breakdowns at aging power plants, decreasing fuel imports and fuel shortages, and the growing threat of climate change-related disruptions.
Electricity production of Cuba in 2015 sorted by technologies and resources, the energy consumption column corresponds to the primary resources needed to produce the amount of electricity in the column called electricity production with the current Cuban energy system. Thermoelectric power plants have an installed capacity of 2.59 GW.
In the Int-a and Int-b scenarios, Cuba still needs to import refined fuels which are mainly required by the industrial and transport sectors. Therefore, energy security can be improved by reducing the oil subproducts demanded by these activity macro sectors (i.e. MS1 and MS7).
This huge potential represents an amount of energy of around 24.4 TWh/yr. Table 9 shows the resource potentials estimated for Cuba. The reduction of energy dependence in Cuba entails more intensive exploitation of local renewable energy resources: biomass, wind, or solar radiation.
While small-scale, such renewable energy initiatives can reduce pressure on the energy grid and provide relief in especially vulnerable places. Due to rising temperatures and increasingly unreliable energy infrastructure, action to update Cuba’s energy grid is urgently necessary.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years.
