AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Energy Crisis: Cuba’s National Electric System collapsed again on Friday, the second nationwide blackout in a week and the fourth since the start of 2026, leaving nearly 10 million people without power as fuel shortages and aging infrastructure bite; officials say restoration is slow and uneven, with Havana getting only a small share of service while priority circuits cover hospitals and water. Grid Restoration: Minem reports parts of the western microsystem are being reconnected via synchronized thermoelectric units, but the system remains fragile and restart protocols are repeatedly reset after new voltage problems. Public Reaction: On the July 11 anniversary, protests and cacerolazos spread in Havana and Guanabacoa amid blackout conditions, while authorities increased security presence. Policy & Sanctions: Cuba’s government and foreign minister Bruno Rodríguez again blamed an “energy blockade” and intensified U.S. sanctions, while China urged the U.S. to end the blockade at the UN. Health & Daily Life: Blackouts are worsening food spoilage, business interruptions, and stress, and even solar battery theft hit a maternity home in Matanzas, showing how shortages ripple into basic care. Foreign Pressure: Miami lawmakers pushed new sanctions targeting Cuba’s state medical services, calling the program forced-labor “slavery.”
