Cuba suffered a nationwide blackout as its power grid collapsed for the second time in less than 24 hours on Saturday morning.
The country had been thrown into a blackout on Friday when the national grid first collapsed.
However, a few hours after power was restored, Cuba Electrical Union, in a statement on its official Telegram channel, said the grid collapsed on Saturday morning, plunging the country into a blackout.
“At 6:15 a.m., a new total outage occurred in the national electroenergetic system,” the statement reads in part. “The Electric Union is working to reestablish it.”
The recent energy crisis in Cuba has disrupted both commercial and public activities, with schools, nightclubs and recreation centres shut down.
“We have been paralysing economic activity to generate (power) to the population,” Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz said when speaking on the energy crisis.
