The SEN suffered another disconnection, causing a nationwide power outage—a situation stemming primarily from the US administration’s economic war on the Cuban people.

  According to the minister, power has also reached the substations of Diezmero, Guanabacoa, Cotorro, and Santa Cruz , enabling the restoration of communications with Jaruco and the start-up process for units at the Ernesto Che Guevara Thermoelectric Power Plant (CTE).

  In a post on the social network X, De la O Levy noted that this is a complex situation amidst the many difficulties Cuba faces on a daily basis.

  He also commended electrical and oil sector workers—describing them as honorable and committed to their country—for their daily efforts to provide energy service to the Cuban people.

  Previous reports from the Havana Electricity Company pointed out that 13 substations and 26 distribution circuits were already operational, benefiting 78,439 customers and accounting for 80.1 megawatts (MW) of power, covering 9.1 percent of the Cuban capital.

  Service was also restored to 17 vital healthcare facilities and two water supply pumping stations.

VRestoration is proceeding gradually as conditions within the SEN allow, the entity noted.
