Cuba Reports New Power Outage

The Cuban Electric Union (UNE in the Spanish acronym) announced at midday today a new total power outage of the National Electric System (SEN in the Spanish acronym).

The company’s official channel reported that the specific causes of the outage are still unknown. There are being investigated, and will be reported to the public promptly.

Moreover the UNE will implement protocols for the gradual restoration of the SEN. Prioritizing the creation of microsystems to provide power to vital centers, hospitals, and water systems.

This new interruption comes amid increasing economic pressure on Cuba from the United States. Which is preventing oil shipments to the island, after President Donald Trump signed an executive order last January. Threatening tariffs on countries that export or facilitate the supply of fuels.

Since late 2024, the Cuban National Electric System (SEN) has suffered several total outages. Amidst the multi-billion dollar effects of the more than 60-year-old blockade imposed by Washington against the Caribbean nation. Which prevents access to the resources necessary for the maintenance and development of the sector.
