On Saturday, Cuba initiated the installation of solar energy storage batteries at four electrical substations, marking a significant step in addressing its energy challenges. These Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), also referred to as "concentrator units," are being placed at Cueto 220, Bayamo. . Cuba installs batteries in substations to improve the use of solar energy and address the energy crisis. Despite these advancements, power outages persist due to the lack of capacity in the electrical system. 87 MW, located in the central province of Sancti Spíritus, began operations after just over two months of installation. This effort, which involves establishing approximately fifty photovoltaic parks across the nation, aims to address Cuba's persistent energy. . On October 18, 2024, Cuba experienced a catastrophic power failure that left half of the population—10 million people—without power. This massive blackout highlights the vulnerability of outdated power infrastructure, strained by aging oil-fired plants, frequent breakdowns, and fuel shortages. "We're basically throwing away. .
