Why Cuba is expecting one of the biggest blackouts of the year this Monday during peak demand hours

Cuba faces a severe escalation in its ongoing energy crisis this Monday, with the state-run Unión Eléctrica (UNE) projecting a deficit that will result in the disconnection of 73% of the country's territory. This disruption is expected to occur during the peak demand period, marking one of the most significant power outages of the year according to official data.

The widespread blackout highlights the deepening instability of the nation's electrical infrastructure. The projected service interruption represents a substantial portion of the island's grid, underscoring the intensity of the current energy shortfall.
