Cuba's Power Challenges Amid U.S. Sanctions and Rising Solar Imports
Cuba faces frequent power outages amid a longstanding U.S. embargo and recent intensified sanctions under President Trump, including a blockade targeting oil supplies. Despite these challenges, Cuba is rapidly adopting solar energy, with U.S. solar exports to the island rising significantly in 2026, partially offsetting power shortages. China remains Cuba's main solar equipment supplier, though its exports have declined. The U.S. measures have drawn international criticism, including from UN experts and the General Assembly, over their humanitarian impact and legality.
