Darkness Falls on Cuba: Nationwide Blackout as Electrical Grid Collapses Again

Cuba was plunged into a total blackout on Friday after the country’s electrical grid collapsed, according to the U.S. Embassy in Havana. The embassy warned that the cause of the collapse is under investigation and the timeline to restore power is unknown. “All U.S. citizens in Cuba or planning to travel to Cuba should be aware and plan accordingly. There are reports of cellphone and internet outages,” the embassy stated, noting that Cuba’s electrical grid is “increasingly unstable,” leading to multiple nationwide power outages in recent months. The embassy added that the electrical system “remains vulnerable, and additional regular outages have been occurring more frequently and for longer periods. Scheduled power cuts occur daily, and unscheduled outages persist throughout Cuba.”

The country’s power system has been struggling due to fuel shortages, the U.S.-imposed oil blockade, and crumbling infrastructure. Even when there isn’t a national outage, Cuba often endures rolling blackouts that leave millions without power for extended periods. The energy ministry also posted about the outage on social media, though details remained scarce. For a nation already grappling with economic freefall and mounting hardships, the grid collapse represents another severe blow, leaving homes, hospitals, and businesses in the dark and compounding the daily struggles of ordinary Cubans. As the sun set over Havana on Friday, residents faced an uncertain night without power, relying on candles, flashlights, and the hope that electricity would soon return.
