Cuba’s barely functional power grid completely collapsed for the fifth time in less than a year on Wednesday, leaving the entire country without power throughout the day.
According to Granma, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of Cuba, the power grid has not been fully restored as of Thursday morning, as five provinces remain without power. In contrast, the Spanish news Agency EFE reported on Thursday that much more of Cuba is still without power.
The blackout started on Wednesday at 09:14 a.m. (local time) after the Antonio Guiteras thermal power plant in the province of Matanzas suddenly went offline. The independent outlet Cibercuba pointed out that the plant is the same one that caused prior mass blackouts in the country. Iván Hernández, general secretary of the Independent Trade Union Association of Cuba, further explained to Infobae that the thermal power plant is Cuba’s biggest.
“You can imagine the heat, food going bad, young children, the elderly, and bedridden people going through this… The discomfort is immense. People have nothing to eat and now even less to cook with, because most Cuban families prepare food using electrical appliances,” Hernández told Infobae. more

Don’t we have enough problems of our own without worrying about Cuba?
@ 203: glover & penn visited venezuela, right? who was the comedian-dindu that went to haiti to proclaim its greatness? cuba would probably invite all of them.
They’ve got old equipment, no spares, no money, no competent operators, no competent maintenance workers, no fuel, no money, and anybody who asks, “What the hell is wrong with with you people?” gets thrown in prison if they’re lucky.
Cuba’s Ministry of Power:
To The Heroic People of our Fatherland: Starting December 31, 2025, we will distribute candles and whale oil lamps to all citizens affected by the loss of electric power. Citizens will be instructed to burn candles and lamps for only two hours per day, to preserve these precious resources.
LONG LIVE OUR COUNTRY’S SAVIOR, FIDEL CASTRO!

Must be because of all those $80K EV’s the Cuban’s have…
Global warming caused it to collapse.
Not to worry. The diesel generators at the palace of El Presidente all work great.
f. castro probably not concerned with heat/light in his current lodging
Well, after all of the Cubans have starved to death in the dark, at least they can go to their graves knowing that they didn’t give any of the capitalist devils any of their money…
wait, they don’t have any money because they’re all communists.
Never mind.
