Cuba power grid outage
The article discusses the collapse of Cuba's power grid, where the Cuban Ministry of Energy announced a complete blackout across the entire island, which has an estimated population of around nine million people. The cause is attributed to the aging and weakened generation system resulting from fuel shortages and deteriorating infrastructure, coupled with the U.S. oil embargo, leading to frequent power outages that impact residents' lives. After several days of blackout, electricity was restored to some areas, including Havana, as the state electricity company repaired the damage. This collapse comes amid U.S. warnings about rising cases of illnesses linked to the power outages, with devastating economic losses exceeding eight billion dollars due to the embargo and sanctions imposed on Cuba.
