Cuba a été plongée dans le noir lundi après une panne électrique nationale, privant ses 11 millions d’habitants de courant. The outage left approximately 10 million people without electricity, marking a significant disruption in daily life across the island.
The outage was described as a “complete disconnection” of the electrical network, highlighting the severity of the situation. By evening, only 5% of Havana’s residents had their electricity restored, amounting to around 42,000 users.
This incident is part of a worsening energy crisis in Cuba, which has been exacerbated by fuel shortages and an aging electrical network. Authorities have indicated that they are investigating the cause of the outage, with initial indications pointing to transmission issues.
Frequent power cuts have become a norm in Cuba, forcing residents to adapt to prolonged periods without electricity. The situation has been further complicated by reduced oil imports and pressures from the United States, which have strained the country’s energy resources.
During the outage, hospitals were prioritized for electricity restoration to ensure that critical services could continue. The government’s response to the crisis will be closely monitored as residents continue to face challenges in their daily lives.
Les autorités ont déclaré qu’elles enquêtaient toujours sur la cause de la panne. As investigations continue, the people of Cuba remain hopeful for a swift resolution to the ongoing energy crisis.
