A significant power outage struck Cuba on Friday night, impacting Havana and several provinces. The outage, originating from the Diezmero substation, resulted in a substantial loss of power generation in western Cuba, ultimately leading to the collapse of the National Electric System. This widespread blackout left millions of people without electricity, causing disruptions in internet services as well. The incident underscores the vulnerability of Cuba’s infrastructure to such emergencies and raises concerns about the country’s ability to maintain a reliable power supply. Authorities are working to restore power and investigate the root cause of the outage to prevent similar incidents in the future. The outage serves as a reminder of the importance of investing in robust and resilient energy infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted power supply for citizens.
