Cubans use their own power plants to solve formalities

It might seem unusual in any other country. But it's Cuba. Faced with the ongoing crisis of blackouts, many Cubans are taking their generators to handle transactions of their interest such as house sales, wills, certifications.

El hecho no es novedoso ni privativo de esa ciudad del centro de Cuba. Residentes en Remedios, Caibarién o Santa Clara aseguran que es una práctica habitual. “Si quieres resolver tu trámite y hay apagón, debes llevar tu planta”, aseguran a nuestro equipo.

“Lo lindo es que estamos hablando de gente que puede y tiene esos equipos. La mayoría no puede hacerlo”, nos contó María.

Llevar plantas eléctricas a Cuba

Let's remember that the authorities on the island have extended the import benefits of electric plants to Cuba, although these units are NOT exempt from tariffs.

Cuba Customs allows the entry of up to two plantas eléctricas por persona, siempre y cuando el valor total de los artículos importados por el viajero no exceda los 1,000 USD.

En esencia, las plantas se clasifican por potencia y valor permitido, siendo de hasta 900 vatios (valor estimado de 200 USD), de 901 a 1500 vatios (valor estimado de 500 USD), y de 1501 vatios hasta 15 kVA (valor estimado de 950 USD), con la restricción de que si una planta supera los 1500 vatios y alcanza los 950 USD, el viajero no podrá importar otros artículos comerciales.

  1. I arrived at the 13 de Mayo Polyclinic about 15 days ago with precordial pain and knew there was no current. I brought my solar plant with me and thanks to that they were able to perform an electrocardiogram and find out I didn't have a heart attack, only high blood sugar. They administered IV fluids and I improved.
