Cuba's national electrical system collapsed early on Wednesday morning after the country's largest power plant failed, showcasing a severe energy crisis amid ongoing shortages.
The Antonio Guiteras power plant in Matanzas, the island's top electricity producer, shut down at about 2 am, prompting a nationwide grid collapse.
Oil imports from Venezuela, Russia, and Mexico have dwindled, exacerbating the crisis as Cuba’s already obsolete power plants struggle to keep the lights on.
After the grid failure, Havana was plunged into darkness, with only a few large hotels and government buildings managing to maintain power amidst widespread outages.
