A new total outage of Cuba’s national power system — Sistema Electroenergético Nacional (SEN) — occurred on Tuesday at 11:05 a.m. local time, according to a statement on social media by the Union Electrica.
This latest interruption, the third in the last eight days, comes amid growing economic pressure on Cuba from the United States.
Washington is blocking 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 fuel.
Since the end of 2024, the Sistema Electroenergético Nacional (SEN) has suffered several total disconnections, amid the multimillion-dollar effects of the more than 60-year blockade that Washington maintains against the Caribbean country, which prevents access to the resources necessary for the maintenance and development of the sector.
