Cuba restores power grid and resumes planned blackouts of about 5 hours a day

ai generated text

The power grid was restored on Thursday after a breakdown at the Antonio Guiteras Thermoelectric Plant in Matanzas province. This marks the third major grid collapse in two months. The plant's failure automatically disconnected the national grid, affecting over 10 million residents. The power grid was restored after several hours, but the National Electric Union reported struggles to meet demand, boosting generation to 1,450 megawatts. The blackout occurred on the heels of a significant blackout on October 18, which was exacerbated by Hurricane Oscar.
