Cuba has restored electricity across the country after a second nationwide blackout in less than a week disrupted power supplies.
The country’s national electricity company, UNE, confirmed on Sunday that the power grid was fully reconnected.
“At 6:30 a.m. (10:30 GMT) this morning, the national electrical system was reconnected throughout the country,” the utility said in a post on X.
Engineers worked for more than 24 hours to restore electricity after the latest outage.
The process was slowed by fuel shortages, but repair efforts gathered pace overnight.
According to authorities, more than 65 percent of homes in Havana, the capital city with about 1.7 million residents, regained electricity before Sunday morning.
The latest outage marks Cuba‘s fourth nationwide blackout in less than six months and the ninth major power failure since the end of 2024.
Cuba has been facing its worst economic crisis in decades, with fuel shortages affecting electricity generation.
The situation has worsened following the oil blockade imposed by United States President Donald Trump in January as part of a campaign to increase pressure on Cuba’s communist government.
