Havana.- Cuban economy is promoting the use of renewable energy, for which purpose 34 solar photovoltaic parks have been built and synchronized with the national power grid.
The development strategy in the energy sector aims to generate 90 megawatts by the end of this year.
Cuba's average solar radiation is about 1,800 kilowatts per square meter a year, so there is enough potential to benefit from that renewable source of energy.
Until 2012, Cuba generated fewer than three megawatts of photovoltaic energy, mainly from 9,000 small systems installed in remote places.
By 2030, 24 percent of the country's energy matrix will consist of renewable sources of energy.
