This latest outage—the third in the last eight days—comes amidst mounting economic pressure on Cuba from the United States.

  Washington is blocking oil shipments to the island following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump last January, which threatens tariffs against countries that export fuel or facilitate its supply.

  Since late 2024, the SEN has experienced several total disconnections amidst the massive economic impact of the US blockade maintained on the Caribbean nation for over 60 years, which prevents access to the resources needed for the sector’s maintenance and development.
