Cuba hit by another island-wide power outage
Cuba blackout leaves 10 million without power amid grid collapse and outages See what caused the island-wide outage and why Cuba’s energy crisis keeps growing
Cuba’s national electric grid collapsed at midday on Monday, leaving about 10 million people across the island without power, according to the state grid operator UNE.
Officials said they are investigating the cause of the blackout. The outage came after months of frequent rolling blackouts, which have already disrupted daily life for many Cubans during the summer heat.
The country has faced repeated power failures amid a strained grid and a prolonged economic crisis. At the time of the collapse, nearly twothirds of Cuba was already experiencing outages, including in the capital, Havana.
