Power Plants in Cuba

Cuba has 19 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 93rd-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 5 operating and 4 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 1.0 GW across 5 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Program-06 ISA solar farm (785 MW).

The largest owner-operators are Unión Eléctrica de Cuba (14), Energas SA (2) and Baranca Stream (1) — Unión Eléctrica de Cuba alone is named on 74% of them. Half of Cuba's power plants in service predate 2003 (median commissioning year of the 5 with a known date) and the oldest still listed is CT 10 de Octubre power station, dating from 1969. 4 are in the pipeline, led by Program-06 ISA solar farm (785 MW), proposed. They account for 53% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Cuba.
