The long blackout suffered on October 18 in Cuba is a stark reflection of the nation's deteriorated electricity system, marked by reliance on imported fossil fuels.
Cuba's energy struggles are exacerbated by decades of under-investment, resulting in a fragile electricity system dependent on outdated Soviet-era technologies.
Despite favorable conditions for renewable energy like solar and wind, Cuba's electricity production remains over 83% reliant on petroleum and other fossil fuels.
The collapse of Cuba's largest power plant highlights the country's failing energy infrastructure, underscoring the urgent need for diversification and investment in renewables.
