Cuban authorities started to gradually restore power to the island Sunday after the second nationwide blackout in a week, as the grid struggles due to an aging infrastructure and a US oil blockade.
Two-thirds of Havana had power again in the afternoon, the capital's electricity company said, a day after the energy ministry reported a "total disconnection" of the national electric system in the country of nearly 10 million people.
The grid was reconnected across most of the country on Sunday, from Pinar del Rio in the far west to Santiago de Cuba in the far east, with two provinces left to link up, the state-owned Electric Union of Cuba said on X.
The outage comes as Cuba's communist government has faced growing pressure from US President Donald Trump, who imposed the de facto oil blockade in January.
