Cuba plunged into darkness as power grid collapses again
Summary
According to Biztoc.com, Cuba’s Ministry of Energy said the national power grid collapsed again, leaving much of the island without electricity. The report links the blackout to Cuba’s ongoing fuel shortages and the impact of U.S. sanctions, both of which have strained the country’s energy system.
Why this matters
Repeated nationwide blackouts are a major economic and social problem in Cuba, affecting homes, hospitals, businesses, and daily life. They also highlight how energy shortages, infrastructure problems, and U.S.-Cuba tensions can combine to worsen instability on the island.
