China Delivers 1st Batch of Donations to Cuba to Build Solar Parks

CHINA – The Chinese government has delivered its first batch of donations for the construction of photovoltaic parks in Cuba.

This is part of Cuba’s broader plan to install 92 solar parks by 2028, in a bid to tame an energy crisis that often leads to power outages across the country.

Cuba’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade and Investment Deborah Rivas said that the project involves seven parks and will contribute 35 megawatts to the island’s electrical system.

During the delivery ceremony in the municipality of Guanajay, Rivas assured that energy cooperation between Cuba and China is a priority.
