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.
