A recent accident at a thermal power plant in Cuba led to an unprecedented situation: the entire island was without electricity. This event caused a significant resonance and concern among the population, which faced the consequences of the blackout.
On the island, the only working Antonio Guiteras power plant failed, the Ministry of Energy of the country said that because of this the country was completely without electricity. The reason for the disconnection is completely worn out equipment.
Schools are closed, entertainment events are canceled. Regulators work on the streets instead of traffic lights, and the residents themselves are forced to use candles and torches
The infrastructure at the power stations is also outdated, and 40% of the country's fuel tanks were destroyed in 2022 after the fire at the oil depot in Matanzas.
