Located in Majagua municipality, Ciego de Avila province, it is the first facility of its kind in the Caribbean nation with one megawatt of battery energy storage capacity.

It represents the beginning of the second phase of a 120-megawatt donation from the government of the People’s Republic of China to Cuba.

Daniel Carrasco Camejo, director of the Integrated Projects Department at the Ciego de Avila Electric Company, explained that the system’s battery is used to guarantee voltage quality, frequency regulation, and to provide local autonomy in power outages. Some twenty Chinese specialists participated, alongside the Cuban construction crews, in the construction and commissioning of the park.

Deep gratitude was expressed to the Government and people of the People’s Republic of China at the inauguration ceremony for their continued solidarity with their Cuban counterparts.
