Cuba faced a national blackout after the Antonio Guiteras power plant failed, leaving 10 million people without electricity. President Miguel Diaz-Canel vowed to restore power quickly, blaming the US embargo for the energy crisis. The blackout forced the cancellation of non-vital services, schools, and recreational activities. Cuba struggled to deliver fuel to power plants due to stormy weather from Hurricane Milton. Despite the challenges, officials started efforts to restore power, with plans to change electricity rates for businesses. Venezuela’s reduced fuel shipments added to Cuba’s energy woes. The total blackout highlighted the country’s dependence on the fragile electrical grid and external suppliers. Cuba’s energy issues underscore the impact of political tensions on daily life and infrastructure. As the nation worked to fix the power outage, concerns about sustainability and resilience in the face of external pressures became more urgent.
