Cuba plunges Into power blackout hell
Cuba’s ongoing power crisis, plunging more than 10 million people into darkness, serves as a stark reminder of the systemic failures of the repressive communist dictatorship in the Caribbean island struggling with imploding infrastructure, economic turmoil, and natural disasters.
“At around 8:15 p.m. tonight, a failure at the Diezmero substation caused a significant loss of generation in the west of Cuba and with it the failure of the National Electric System,” Cuba’s Ministry of Energy and Mines wrote in a post on X late Friday night.

By Saturday morning, Cuba’s grid operator, UNE, stated that only 225 MW—less than 10% of total demand—was available to supply critical infrastructure, such as hospitals, food centers, and water supply systems, leaving much of the island without power. UNE didn’t provide a timeline on when power generation capacity would return to 100%.
Cuba’s President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez wrote on X that government agencies are quickly working to restore power across the island.
