Cuba's Power Grid Collapse: A Struggle Amid Economic Crisis and Natural Disasters

Cuba's energy infrastructure has deteriorated, leading to a recent collapse of its national power grid. The Antonio Guiteras power plant's failure left millions without electricity, particularly affecting the capital, Havana. This disaster reflects ongoing struggles with aging infrastructure and fuel shortages compounded by economic sanctions and natural disasters. The Cuban government has ordered a suspension of work and educational activities while efforts to restore power are underway. Previous incidents of blackouts have also been linked to limited fuel supplies and hurricanes impacting the island.
