The Cuban Electric Union stated on social media that during the process of restoring the national power system, adverse weather conditions affected the power grid, directly impacting the generating units that were in operation at the time.

This marks another nationwide blackout in Cuba within 24 hours. The Cuban Electric Union reported on the 2nd that at 22:43 that day, the national power system was completely paralyzed.

Due to the impact of U.S. sanctions, Cuba has long struggled to import fuel and power plant equipment, leaving aging facilities difficult to upgrade and straining the national power supply. Since October 2024, Cuba has experienced multiple large-scale nationwide blackouts due to power facility failures, hurricane strikes, and other causes.
