Installation of photovoltaic solar panels began this week at Augusto César Sandino Stadium in Santa Clara. It would be the first installation of its kind at a Cuban baseball stadium.
The venue is home to the Villa Clara Leopards in the National Series. Images published with the report show panels being unloaded from trucks and lifted by cranes near the stadium.
The initiative comes amid the electricity crisis. For Saturday, the National Electric System had 1,250 MW available against demand of 2,900 MW, with peak-period outages projected to reach 1,680 MW, according to official Energy and Mines Ministry figures.
