Cuba Experiences Nationwide Blackout Following Failure of National Electrical Power Grid
ai generated text
The recent shutdown of the Antonio Guiteras power plant in Matanzas has resulted in a national power grid collapse, leaving millions of people without electricity in Cuba. The Ministry of Energy and Mines is working to restore power, but the crisis has been ongoing for months. The government has ordered the suspension of work and teaching activities due to the outage. Cuba's oil-fired power plants have been in a full crisis this year due to a decline in oil imports from Venezuela, Russia, and Mexico.

We are estimating there should be important progress today.
But I cannot assure you that we will be able to have the system fully connected today.
Tonight at 10:25pm the total disconnection of the national electro-energetic system occurred again.
Weakening is expected after landfall, but Oscar could still be a tropical storm when it moves north of Cuba late Monday and moves across the central Bahamas on Tuesday.
There will be no rest until (power) is restored.
We are devoting absolute priority to addressing and solving this highly sensitive energy contingency. There will be no rest until its restoration.
The complex scenario is caused primarily by the intensification of the economic war and financial and energy persecution of the United States.
We have had to paralyze the economy to guarantee a minimum of electrical service.
