According to officials, Cuba experienced a global shutdown on Friday as a result of yet another breakdown in its regional electricity grid. The ministry of energy and mines made the announcement on social media,” A failure at the Diezmero substation caused a significant loss of generation in the west of Cuba and with it the failure of the National Electric System, SEN, and the recovery process is already underway.”
When will complete power be restored, according to authorities?
This drew attention to the nation’s energy and economic crisis for the second time in just two weeks.
Before this, Cuba also experienced power outages last month. One was reported in October last year after millions of people were without electricity at the Antonio Guiteras thermal grow, one of Cuba’s essential power channels, shut down. The government was forced to take immediate action due to the network loss.
Another significant outage occurred in December 2024 when the same flower once more failed in the morning. Around 2 am, the regional network was disconnected, sending more than 10 million people into shadow as a result of the shutdown.
