A major power failure struck Cuba, leaving millions without electricity after the Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric plant, the country’s largest generating facility, unexpectedly shut down. The blackout affected a vast region from Camagüey to Pinar del Río, including the capital, Havana. Immediate efforts were made to restore electricity, with power expected to return gradually as the national grid is reconnected. Cuba has been grappling with electricity shortages due to aging infrastructure and fuel supply problems, exacerbated by reduced oil shipments from Venezuela and wider economic pressures on the energy sector. The blackout has disrupted daily life, affecting transportation, waste collection, and hospital services. Fuel shortages have also affected aviation, with several airlines reducing flights to the country due to limited aviation fuel. The recent outage underscores Cuba’s ongoing energy crisis as authorities strive to stabilize the national power grid and restore reliable electricity to millions of residents.
