A significant power outage has struck Cuba, impacting approximately two-thirds of the island due to a malfunction in its primary thermoelectric plant. The outage, reported by the government, affects nearly 7 million of the island's 10 million residents and represents the second major energy collapse within a month, raising concerns about the stability of the country's energy infrastructure. The capital, Havana, is also among the areas facing prolonged blackouts. The Central Antonio Guiteras, Cuba's largest power generator, experienced an unexpected shutdown, leading to a partial collapse of the country's National Electro-Energy System (SEN). The reasons behind this malfunction have not yet been specified by the government, which has left many residents in suspense regarding the immediate future of power supply in their regions. The outage has affected 10 of the island's 15 provinces, which include areas from Camagüey in the east to Pinar del Río in the west, highlighting the widespread nature of this issue. This latest power failure not only underscores the challenges facing Cuba's aging energy infrastructure but also raises alarms about the potential for civil unrest amid such a crisis. With many Cubans already facing economic challenges, the lack of reliable electric supply can exacerbate frustrations among the population, potentially leading to protests and calls for accountability from governmental officials regarding the operations and management of the national power grid.
