Cuba suffers nationwide power grid collapse, leaving nearly 10 million without electricity

Cuba’s national electricity system collapsed on Monday
afternoon, leaving nearly 10 million people without power across
the island, AzerNEWS reports.

The announcement was made by UNE, the state company responsible
for operating the country’s electricity grid.

According to the utility, authorities have launched an
investigation to determine the cause of the nationwide outage.

Cuba has experienced frequent power cuts in recent months due to
its aging energy infrastructure and fuel supply shortages, which
the government says have been exacerbated by the U.S. embargo on
the island.

The country has also struggled to maintain a stable electricity
supply amid a prolonged economic crisis. Officials say the
situation has deteriorated further in the face of increasing
pressure from the U.S. administration.
