Cuba experiences another power outage
Cuba experienced a comprehensive collapse of its power grid, leading to blackouts affecting millions of residents across the country amid a severe fuel crisis and deteriorating infrastructure. According to the Ministry of Energy, the outage was caused entirely by a failure in the high-voltage power transmission lines, while authorities began activating protocols to restore service gradually. Power has partially returned to some areas in Havana, notably hospitals, but most of the capital remains in darkness. This collapse is the seventh since the beginning of the year, and the island has experienced 12 complete outages since the end of 2024, with disruptions lasting up to 30 hours in large regions. These issues are driven by fuel shortages, the decline of power plants, and the impact of U.S. sanctions on oil imports, all of which hinder repair efforts and the supply of fuel necessary for maintaining the grid.
