The system features state-of-the-art batteries capable of supporting an additional megawatt to stabilize the national electrical grid. Thanks to this tool, the plant can regulate voltage and frequency variations, one of the main challenges of intermittent renewable energies like. On Friday, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel presented an update on the actions undertaken to resolve the energy deficit prompted by the U. During the first two months of the year, Cuba exceeded its production targets for oil and associated gas, reversing a trend observed in 2025. As part of the country's strategic program to strengthen the stability of the national grid, Cuba has begun load testing of the first unit of a battery energy storage system (BESS) at the El Cotorro substation in Havana. According. Summary: Explore Cuba"s growing energy storage sector, innovative battery material trends, and how strategic partnerships can unlock renewable energy potential. Solís explained that in solar projects, BESS units store surplus energy generated during daylight, to be used when production is low, such as at night, or when demand surges.
