Cuba’s streets have been flickering under the weight of power blackouts and fuel shortages, leaving residents scrambling in the dark for months. But a new solar-powered lifeline from China could flip the switch on this crisis.
What’s Happening in Cuba?
Imagine charging your phone just twice a week or relying on candlelight for homework – that’s daily life for many in Cuba right now. The island’s aging energy infrastructure and global economic pressures have left it struggling to keep the lights on.
Solar Solutions from China 
Enter China, which is stepping up with solar tech expertise and equipment to help Cuba harness its year-round sunshine. This partnership isn’t just about fixing blackouts; it’s a green energy leap that could reshape Cuba’s future and deepen ties between the two nations.
As CGTN’s Luis Chirino reports, the collaboration signals a win-win: Cuba gains sustainable energy independence, while China strengthens its global role in climate-tech innovation.
