in January.The Ministry of Energy and Mines announced the islandwide power outage on its official X account and added that officials had begun "activating service-restoration protocols."
According to Cuban authorities, a failure occurred in transmission lines in the western part of the country, causing the system to collapse there, as far as Matanzas province, and disconnecting the eastern section.
Power grid collapses have become increasingly common over the past two years because of the severe economic crisis gripping the island.
