Cuba's national power grid collapsed again after the Antonio Guiteras power plant shut down, leaving millions without electricity and illustrating the country's ongoing energy crisis.
Authorities reported the 2am shutdown of the Antonio Guiteras power plant prompted the collapse of the national grid, affecting the entire island and plunging Havana into darkness.
As the government's struggle with outdated oil-fired power plants continues, import difficulties from key suppliers have exacerbated an already critical situation, leading to frequent blackouts.
Despite blaming the U.S. trade embargo for fuel scarcity, Cuba's broader economic crisis characterized by soaring inflation and shortages of essentials plays a significant role in the energy failures.
