Cuba solar-powered renewable energy initiatives

Overview

Cuba is implementing solar-powered infrastructure to address fuel shortages and energy crises. Initial efforts included the construction of an ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging station at Peñas Altas, Guanabo, on the Vía Blanca highway. This facility, developed by the small business 5ta. Avenida Motores, utilizes 432 solar panels and battery backup to serve multiple vehicles simultaneously as part of a “solineras” initiative.

Following these developments, a solar-powered charging station was inaugurated near Santa Clara on the National Highway. Operated by the MSME Solguara, this facility functions independently of the national electrical grid, providing both rapid and ultra-rapid charging for various international vehicle standards. The station also provides electricity for mobile phones and other small devices, contributing to a broader strategy of utilizing renewable energy through “solineras” in residential and community districts.
