Did Cuba re-connect its electricity grid after a power outage?

By Dave Sherwood HAVANA (Reuters) -Cuba reconnected its national electrical grid and restored power to the majority of the capital Havana by late on Sunday, energy officials said, nearly two days after an island-wide outage knocked out power to 10 million people.

Why did Havana have a power outage?

The Ministry of Energy and Mines attributed it to a failure at a substation in the suburbs of Havana. The latest power outage affected phone, internet and water services. Many families also could not cook because they use electric equipment to prepare their meals. Cuba suffered similar blackouts in October, November and December.

Does Havana have electricity?

Union Electrica, the state agency responsible for the electric grid, reported that most of the capital, Havana, and eastern parts of the country had power. It expected service to return to western areas on Sunday, too.

What happened to Cuba's power grid?

Friday’s grid collapse marked the Caribbean island’s fourth nationwide blackout since October. Cuba’s oil-fired power plants, already obsolete and struggling to keep the lights on, reached a full crisis last year as oil imports from Venezuela, Russia and Mexico dwindled.
