Cuba's Power Grid Falls into Darkness
Cuba is suffering from a complete collapse of its electricity grid due to a failure in the high-voltage transmission lines in the central part of the country, which has led to the city being plunged into darkness and millions of residents losing power. This situation has been worsened by recurrent outages that have been ongoing since January. The severity of the problem is attributed to an aging power generation system that faces shortages of fuel and deterioration of infrastructure, coupled with an oil embargo imposed by the United States since the beginning of 2023. This embargo has exacerbated power outages and increased the frequency of network failures. Authorities are working to gradually restore order, but long outages continue, sometimes lasting 30 hours or more, while residents endure difficult conditions amid a system closed off from energy supplies.
