Cuba Faces Ongoing Blackouts Despite Restoration of Power Supply

13 Temmuz 2026France 24
  • Cuba is experiencing a resurgence of blackouts that are severely impacting its nearly ten million residents and the economy. The island only produces 40% of the fuel it requires and faces challenges in receiving shipments due to US restrictions.
  • A recent delivery of 730,000 barrels of oil from Russia has already been depleted, exacerbating the situation.
  • Cuba's energy crisis is not new, but the recent increase in blackouts underscores the ongoing challenges the country faces in maintaining a stable energy supply. The reliance on foreign oil, coupled with geopolitical tensions, has created a precarious situation for the Cuban economy and its citizens.
  • The recurring blackouts in Cuba highlight the vulnerabilities of the island's energy infrastructure and its dependence on external sources for fuel. The ongoing US sanctions complicate the situation further, limiting Cuba's ability to secure necessary resources.
