Cuba Faces Nationwide Blackout as Power Grid Collapses
TL;DR
Cuba's national electrical grid collapsed after the failure of its largest power plant, Antonio Guiteras, amid ongoing fuel shortages and economic challenges. This latest outage left Havana and potentially the entire island without power, highlighting the country's struggle with obsolete oil-fired power plants and dwindling oil imports from Venezuela, Russia, and Mexico. The government is working to restore the grid, which has faced multiple failures in recent months due to natural disasters and fuel supply issues.
