Cuba's already fragile electrical infrastructure was severely impacted by Hurricane Rafael, resulting in extensive power outages and leaving at least 2 million people without electricity.
Lázaro Guerra, electricity director, stated that restoring power in the west will take longer as authorities assess the storm's damage to transmission lines after the hurricane.
The nation faced persistent power issues exacerbated by a U.S. trade embargo that has limited oil imports, complicating efforts to maintain the power grid amid ongoing severe weather.
Hurricane Rafael was the fifth major storm of the Atlantic season, making landfall and wreaking havoc across Cuba, flooding streets and damaging buildings significantly.
