Cuba ends the week with blackouts affecting up to 65% of its territory during peak hours

Cuba faces a severe energy crisis as the state-owned Unión Eléctrica projects that blackouts will simultaneously affect up to 65 percent of the country's territory during peak evening hours at the close of the week.

The widespread power outages highlight the ongoing structural challenges within the nation's electrical grid, leaving a significant majority of the population without electricity during the highest-demand period of the day.
