Is Cuba's energy infrastructure in a precarious state of aging and disrepair?
The report highlights the issue that not only is Cuba’s energy infrastructure in a precarious state of aging and disrepair, but also that its entire energy system relies heavily on external aid and imported fossil fuels.
Should Cuba update its energy grid?
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.
How can Cuba build a more resilient energy system?
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.
What does the EDF report tell us about Cuba's electric grid?
The report builds on a previous report published by EDF in . That report, similar to this one, provided information on Cuba’s electric grid and recommended paths forward.
How does Cuba rely on oil?
Cuba is dependent on fossil fuels for energy generation and relies on oil imports of crude and fuel oil from Venezuela and Russia, as well as floating power plants provided through an agreement with a Turkish business group.
Does EDF work with Cuba?
EDF has been working with Cuban, U.S. and international partners for more than 20 years to strengthen and expand scientific exchange and environmental cooperation. The report builds on EDF’s strong history of working with Cuba on environmental issues, and EDF’s commitment to creating transformational solutions to environmental problems.
