Energy Revolution

The Energy Revolution (Spanish: revolución energética) was a campaign through which Cuba drastically decarbonized its economy. It was announced by Fidel Castro on July 26, 2005, in the wake of massive disruption to Cuba's electric grid during Hurricane Dennis, during a speech commemorating the attack on Moncada Barracks. The campaign decentralized Cuban electricity infrastructure, replaced durable household goods with more energy efficient models, and increased the use of renewable energy resources.
