Cuba was experiencing an island-wide blackout on Friday after a failure at the Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric plant, according to reports.
A failure at one of Cuba’s major power plants resulted in island-wide blackouts on Friday, the communist nation’s Ministry of Energy and Mines said.
The electric system at the Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric plant was „completely disconnected“ at 11 a.m., the agency said on X. The failure left millions of Cubans without power in a country used to frequent power outages amid a seeping economic crisis.
The energy agency said it was working to restore power.
