Guantanamo creates its own power.

Yes, the U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay is entirely self-sufficient, producing its own electricity and water. It operates independently of the Cuban power grid, using a combination of a new, highly efficient $368.8 million Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant, solar power, wind turbines, and diesel generators to support its roughly 6,000 residents.

Key details about Guantanamo Bay’s power generation:

Self-Sufficient Infrastructure: The base operates independently, meaning it does not rely on the local Cuban power grid.
LNG Power Plant: Commissioned in late 2023, the LNG plant serves as the main power source, significantly reducing fuel consumption.
Renewable Energy: The station utilizes wind turbines located on John Paul Jones Hill and solar photovoltaic systems to augment power needs.
Reliability: The Navy's new power plant is designed to increase energy resilience and reduce costs by over $24 million annually.
Water Supply: In addition to electricity, the base uses this power to run its own desalination plant.
