Cuba's National Power Grid Collapses Amid Fuel Shortage and US Sanctions

Cuba blackout national electric system fuel blockade U.S. sanctions grid restoration

On Monday, Cuba experienced a total collapse of its National Electric System (SEN), the third nationwide blackout in six months and the eighth since late 2024. The outage affected the island’s 9.6 million residents, with authorities citing an investigation into the cause. Officials linked the crisis to aging thermal plants, chronic fuel shortages and the United States’ oil blockade, which has limited fuel imports and intensified power cuts.

Cuban authorities activated emergency protocols to protect vital services, prioritising hospitals and water supplies. Restoration efforts involve creating micro‑islands of generation and reconnecting sections of the grid, with the capital Havana reporting roughly 30‑33 % of households back online and 43 hospitals receiving power. By Tuesday, the electric union (UNE) announced that the grid had been re‑interconnected from Pinar del Río to Holguín and that additional provinces were gradually being restored.

The blackout has amplified tensions with the United States. President Miguel Díaz‑Canel and Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced the sanctions as a “genocidal energy blockade” and called for a special UN General Assembly session to address the issue. The United States maintains that its measures aim to pressure political change in Havana.
