Massive power plant failure leaves entire Cuba in unexpected darkness
Major power station breakdown caused nation-wide blackout in Cuba this week. Government had to stop all work-related activities and school classes due to the large-scale power issue
This week Cuba faced a total black-out when its key power facility stopped working in middle of night. The Electric Union (state-run power company) stated that Antonio Guiteras plant in Matanzas province had an un-expected shutdown; which affected power supply across the whole island
The break-down happened around 2am local-time and left millions of Cubanʼs without electricity — forcing quick action from local authorities. The government made a fast-track decision to pause all work-related activities and school-classes (until power gets restored)
The Antonio Guiteras facility‚ located east of Havana plays a super-important role in Cubas power grid system; its sudden stop created a domino-effect that impacted the entire nations power supply. The state company shared this info through their X social-media account making it clear that theyʼre working on fixing the issue
