Each battery system has the capacity to store 50 MW, primarily harnessing renewable sources like solar energy. 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. . On Saturday, Cuba initiated the installation of solar energy storage batteries at four electrical substations, marking a significant step in addressing its energy challenges. These Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), also referred to as "concentrator units," are being placed at Cueto 220, Bayamo. . The national plan prioritizes solar, wind, hydroelectric, and biomass energy to reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels and stabilize the energy system. The total capacity will be 1,200 MW. These are part of a broader project running until 2028,which aims to build 92 parks,with the goal of adding more than 2,000 MW to the National Electro-Energy System. This effort, which involves establishing approximately fifty photovoltaic parks across the nation, aims to address Cuba's persistent energy. .
