Moldova declares 60-day energy emergency after Russia hits cross-border power line

Moldova declared a 60-day state of emergency in its energy sector after a key cross-border power line supplying electricity from Romania (via southern Ukraine) was knocked out by Russian strikes in Ukraine; restoration is expected within about seven days, with demining operations needed before repairs and authorities urging reduced consumption as Moscow’s broader assault on Ukraine continues and North Korea signals support for Russia.

Trump Threatens Iran Power Grid in 48-Hour Ultimatum

President Trump issues a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, vowing to strike and obliterate Iran’s power plants—starting with the largest—if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened, claiming the United States has already achieved its objectives; the move heightens tensions as European and Japanese leaders discuss options to reopen the waterway and mitigate potential oil-supply disruptions.

Trump hints at Cuba takeover as blackout shrouds island

Former President Donald Trump said he would have the 'honour of taking Cuba' amid a US-imposed oil blockade that caused a total blackout, with reports that U.S. officials urged Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel to step down. Washington has intensified pressure on Havana by cutting Venezuelan oil shipments and warning of tariffs, and some U.S. figures advocate regime change, though Díaz-Canel says talks with the U.S. should be based on equality and sovereignty.

Cuba grapples with nationwide blackout as oil blockade bites

Cuba’s electrical grid collapsed nationwide on Monday, the latest blackout during the US-led oil blockade; officials say there were no faults in the grid and restoration efforts are underway. The country’s generation relies heavily on oil, and the blockade has worsened an energy crisis, triggering emergency measures such as shortened school days, reduced transport, and hospital service cuts, while unofficial fuel prices surge. Protests erupted in Morón over outages and food shortages. Cuban officials blame the blockade for the energy crisis, even as Washington disrupted oil shipments from Venezuela and warned other exporters; critics point to long‑standing underinvestment in the energy sector. The outage coincides with a drop in internet traffic and tourism impacts, though authorities say power will be restored progressively as supplies allow.

Cuba hit by rare nationwide blackout as grid collapses

Havana experienced a total collapse of Cuba's electrical grid on Monday, triggering a nationwide blackout—the latest in a string of outages tied to an oil shortage after the US curtailed fuel shipments. Officials are working to restore power, but Cuba’s energy crisis has been worsened by sanctions and chronic underinvestment in its generation system. President Diaz-Canel said no oil had arrived in three months as talks with the United States continue.

Cuba hit by massive blackout after major power plant trips

A fault at Cuba's main thermoelectric plant, the Antonio Guiteras facility, triggered a sweeping blackout that left about two-thirds of the population—nearly 7 million people, including Havana—without power across 10 of 15 provinces. The government cited an unforeseen shutdown, marking the fifth partial outage in six months and highlighting Cuba's fragile grid amid declining Venezuelan oil shipments and U.S. pressure; restoration could take days as outages have become common.

IAEA Warns of Nuclear Safety Risks as Ukraine Grid Struggles Amid Attacks

IAEA Director General Grossi says renewed military activity disrupted Ukraine’s power grid, impacting nuclear power plant operations including a temporary loss of off-site power at Chornobyl and reduced output at other NPPs. Three IAEA teams are inspecting 10 substations over two weeks to assess damage, coordinate repairs, and strengthen resilience, marking the second such mission in months; the agency reiterates calls for restraint and adherence to safety pillars.

Ukraine’s power grid teeters after Russia’s mass winter strikes

Russia’s latest mass attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Feb. 3–4 caused extensive damage to generation and transmission networks, triggering emergency power cuts and leaving Kyiv and several oblasts without heating as officials warned of some of the war’s worst damage; DTEK and Ukrenergo reported severe hits to power stations, with thousands in Kyiv still without heat even as about 100,000 Kyiv families had power restored, while drone and missile strikes continued and international talks to end the war proceed.
