Cuba Faces Another Nationwide Blackout Amid US Fuel Blockade The latest nationwide blackout in Cuba, which left millions without electricity, is the seventh this year and the twelfth since late 2024.
The power grid collapse was attributed to fuel shortages, deteriorating infrastructure, and US sanctions. Cuba's aging infrastructure has been a legacy of neglect for decades.
The Energy Ministry's statement about a "total disconnection" of the electrical system hints at a deeper issue – an outdated power grid struggling to meet modern demands.
