AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoPower Crisis: Cuba’s national grid suffered another “total disconnection” Sunday night, the sixth nationwide blackout of 2026, plunging Havana and much of the island into darkness as restoration crawls back in fragments (UNE says Havana reached about 14% restored, with hospitals and water boosters among the first services to come back). Grid Mechanics: The latest collapse followed a western disruption tied to tripping 220-kilovolt lines linking Matanzas with Cienfuegos and Santa Clara, leaving the SEN divided before crews attempted reconnection. Fuel & Sanctions Pressure: Cuban officials again blamed generation conditions shaped by the U.S. energy embargo—fuel access and spare parts constraints—while residents report longer rolling outages and cascading impacts on water, cooling, and daily commerce. Policy Shift in Energy Supply: Alongside the outages, Cuba is pushing incremental reforms to allow more private participation in fuel import and distribution and expand tourism investment, aiming to ease shortages even as the grid remains brittle.
