10 million affected in the sixth blackout in a year and a half

The Cuba’s national electrical grid collapsed this Monday, according to the country’s network operator, leaving some 10 million people without electricity in the midst of the strict oil blockade imposed by the United States that has deteriorated the island’s already precarious generation system.

“There has been a total disconnection of the National Electrical System (SEN), the causes are being investigated and the protocols for restoration are beginning to be activated,” the National Electrical System (SEN) explained on social networks about this new blackout, the sixth in just a year and a half.

Cuba has been plunged into a deep energy crisis since mid-2024, a situation that has worsened in the last three months with the oil blockade imposed by the US.
