The electric grid of Cuba has suffered a total collapse, causing a national blackout, according to the state energy operator. This is the latest incident of this type and the first since the Trump administration restricted Cuba's access to oil. Efforts to restore power are underway, but Cuban officials blame American sanctions, while critics point to a lack of investment in infrastructure.


The electric grid is old and difficult to maintain, and Cuba relies heavily on oil for energy. The energy crisis has led to the rationing of medicines, frequent power outages, and a decline in tourism. Fuel prices have risen dramatically, and dictator Miguel Diaz-Canel has stated that the island has not received oil deliveries in the last three months, mentioning discussions with American officials to resolve bilateral issues.
