OMNI Features｜U.S. Oil Blockade Deepens Cuba's Energy Crisis as China-Funded Solar Expansion Accelerates
Cuba has accelerated an aggressive push into renewable energy, largely driven by Chinese investment and equipment exports. According to energy think tank Ember, Cuban imports of Chinese solar panels and battery systems surged more than 1,800% between 2020 and 2025. China exported only around US$3 million worth of solar panels to Cuba in 2023, but that figure climbed sharply to US$117 million by 2025, underscoring the rapid pace of deployment despite the country's economic distress.

The Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP) continues to thrive, driven by the semiconductor industry led by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). In 2023, STSP's annual revenue reached NT$1.58 trillion, a 6.88% increase. With TSMC investing approximately NT$2 trillion to build 3 new 2 NM plants in Kaohsiung's Nanzi District, the resulting spillover effects have boosted the housing market in northern Kaohsiung. This has led to a noticeable trend of STSP engineers relocating and purchasing homes across Tainan and Kaohsiung. (May 31, 2023)
