Cuba — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 36 energy assets in Cuba across 4 layers — the 102nd-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 19 power plants, 8 oil & gas fields and 7 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 1.0 GW, led by oil at 53%.

The companies named on the most assets are Unión Eléctrica de Cuba (14), Corporación de Cementos Cubanos (4) and CUPET (4), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Cuba's mapped assets in service predate 1996 (median commissioning year of the 15 with a known date) and the oldest still listed is Mariel Cement Plant, dating from 1918. 8 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Program-06 ISA solar farm (785 MW).
