A group of projects from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment is supporting the installation of solar panels in the province of Holguin. As part of the energy matrix change programs in the region.
Geovanny Zaldívar Martínez, deputy delegate of the sector, specified to CNA that a territorial scheme dedicated to this topic is being worked on. Involving sectors such as agriculture and hydraulic resources.
He highlighted that, through the collaboration of international organizations, including the World Food Program and Ecovalor. The implementation of technological packages and functional sites with renewable energies has been made possible.
As a result of this work, photovoltaic systems are being launched in agroecological farms, water supply systems, and central pivot infrastructure aimed at efficient irrigation and better resource utilization, he noted.
Training courses are also provided to community actors, decision-makers, and beneficiaries, with the aim of achieving proper management of solar panel equipment, which is another purpose of the collaboration.
The executive elaborated that the use of innovation is promoted, aimed at extending the use of clean energies to other branches of the economy and services. Prioritizing areas that are difficult to access due to their geography.
Cuba is boosting a program to change its energy matrix, which currently relies 95 percent on the exploitation of fossil fuels. Which are highly costly and harmful to the environment.
By 2030, the Caribbean island plans to promote solar, wind, and biogas energy. Aimed at electricity generation, agriculture, emergency medical services, transportation, and other sectors.
