How much energy will Cuba generate by 2025?

In 2019, Cuba signed an agreement with the United Nations for Project 180087, committing to generate 29% of its energy from renewable sources by 2025. The project was scheduled to conclude on June 30, 2023, with a budget of $3.4 million. The Cuban state forecasts generating 30,000 GWh by 2030, an almost unattainable goal.

Will Cuba build a new thermoelectric plant in 2023?

The project was scheduled to conclude on June 30, 2023, with a budget of $3.4 million. The Cuban state forecasts generating 30,000 GWh by 2030, an almost unattainable goal. Not only are there no plans to build new thermoelectric plants, but the National Electric Union (UNE) currently supplies only 56.6% of the energy it provided five years ago.

Does the flow of the Cuban rivers increase hydroelectric generation?

The flow of Cuban rivers does not allow for a significant increase in hydroelectric generation, which has declined since 2018. That year, 145.5 GWh were generated, compared to only 106.5 GWh in 2023. The wind energy investment plan includes installing 633 MW.
