Cuba's power grid collapses in nationwide blackout amid fuel crisis

Millions without electricity affecting water supplies, medical services, food preservation, and transportation; households struggling during summer heat without cooling or cooking ability.

For the third time in nine days, Cuba's electrical grid has gone dark entirely, leaving millions of people without power in the summer heat. The state utility announced the collapse without explanation or timeline, a silence that speaks to the depth of a crisis years in the making — aging infrastructure, fuel embargoes, and decades of underinvestment converging into a system that can no longer sustain itself. What unfolds in Cuba now is a question familiar to many societies: how long can essential life hold together when the foundations beneath it quietly give way.
