Cuba is experiencing ongoing widespread blackouts, with a recent fault plunging parts of the eastern zone into darkness. The power outages are attributed to the country’s aging energy infrastructure. Contributing to the issue is the oil cut enacted by former United States President Donald Trump. This disruption to fuel supplies further exacerbates the difficulties in maintaining consistent electricity generation across Cuba. The situation highlights the vulnerability of Cuba’s energy sector and its dependence on external resources. Authorities are working to restore power, but the underlying causes suggest further disruptions are likely without significant infrastructure investment and diversified energy sources. The ongoing blackouts are causing hardship for residents and impacting various sectors across the island nation.
