Summary
Cuba’s national electrical grid collapsed early Wednesday after its largest power plant, Antonio Guiteras, shut down.

This marks the latest in a series of outages worsened by hurricanes and economic crises.
The government is working to restore the grid, but nationwide blackouts have become increasingly frequent amid the country’s worsening energy challenges.
