AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoPower Crisis: Cuba restored full electricity at 7:00 a.m. after a third total blackout in under 10 days, with UNE blaming a generator-unit shutdown at a thermoelectric plant and a sudden frequency change; the outages left about 9.6 million people without power and disrupted hospitals, transport, water, internet, and businesses. Energy Policy & Accountability: Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy rejected “operational errors,” pointing to severe fuel shortages and lack of spare parts under the U.S. oil blockade, while crews worked to bring local grids back online before reconnecting the SEN. Food & Human Impact: With fuel scarcity also crippling refrigeration and emergency power use, residents reported food spoiling and mounting frustration as restoration took more than a day in prior blackouts. Environment & Land Use: Holguín stepped up forest protection, adding 9,000+ hectares to sustainable land programs in 2025, prioritizing watersheds and reforestation, including recovery of mining areas with native species like Pinus cubensis. Local Resilience & Culture: Gibara’s 20th International Low-Budget Film Festival opened, using battery-powered outdoor screens to keep screenings running despite unreliable electricity.
