Summary

Cuba’s national electrical grid collapsed early Wednesday after its largest power plant, Antonio Guiteras, shut down.

The failure, caused by aging infrastructure and dwindling fuel imports from Venezuela, Russia, and Mexico, left most of the island’s 10 million people, including Havana, without power.

This marks the latest in a series of outages worsened by hurricanes and economic crises.

The government is working to restore the grid, but nationwide blackouts have become increasingly frequent amid the country’s worsening energy challenges.

      It looks like just another capitalist mouthpiece spreading imperial propaganda. Completely uncontroversial.
