Cuba removes tariffs on renewable-energy imports to ease blackout pressure

Resolution 180/2026 removes customs duties on renewable-energy equipment imports, including solar PV systems and related components. The policy is intended to cut upfront costs for distributed generation at a time when Cuba is dealing with frequent power failures and dependence on imported fossil fuels. If adoption follows, rooftop and decentralized solar could become a practical resilience tool for households, businesses, and local systems exposed to blackout risk.
