Cuba blackout intensifies energy crisis
Cuba experienced a sudden collapse of its national electricity grid for the second time in less than 24 hours, marking the sixth blackout since the beginning of 2026 and the eleventh in the past two years. This is due to the deterioration of power plant infrastructure and a severe fuel shortage resulting from declining oil supplies from Venezuela and halted shipments from Mexico. These prolonged outages have disrupted daily life, impaired transportation and healthcare services, and led to shortages of food and medicines, amid rising popular protests in major cities. Experts estimate that the cost of rehabilitating the electricity grid ranges between 8 and 10 billion dollars, amidst the severe economic crisis facing the country.
