Cuba Experiences Total Power Outage
The National Electricity Company of Cuba announced a complete blackout of the power grid, resulting in a nationwide power outage, including in the capital, Havana, on Monday morning. This blackout follows a decline in the system’s condition due to the ongoing economic crisis that has lasted for five years, which was worsened by the oil embargo imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump in January 2026. Cuba’s electrical system heavily relies on aging generation plants from the Soviet era, and the increased sanctions have made it difficult to supply these plants with imported fuel used to operate them, leading to a surge in power outages. Power outages have recurred in various regions, with the entire country’s electrical network shutting down completely, highlighting the deterioration of the country’s electrical infrastructure.
