This process is being carried out through the installation of photovoltaic panels in several enclaves, which will gradually reduce dependence on electricity, according to a note published by the weekly Adelante on its digital portal.
The publication adds that since 2023, the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (INRH) has started this initiative in collaboration with the People’s Republic of China.
In this province alone, there are two stations located in the community of Patricio Lumumba, in the municipality of Sibanicú, and in the Micro Brasil, in Esmeralda, where more than 1,700 people live, the article states.
The relevance of this change in Cuba’s energy matrix is based on the need to diversify energy sources and improve the sustainability of its resources.
In statements offered to this local media, Betsy Rodríguez, investment director of the INRH Delegation in Camagüey, assured that by 2025 there are plans to acquire more equipment to continue with the expansion of the installation of solar panels, which will ensure a constant supply of this essential resource for the population.
