Fire knocks out unit at Havana thermoelectric plant, worsening Cuba's power crisis

A fire at the Ernesto Guevara thermoelectric plant in Havana has taken a unit out of service, with the Unión Eléctrica confirming the blaze is under control but not disclosing damage extent or recovery timeline. This adds to Cuba's chronic blackout crisis, which has been exacerbated by fuel shortages and aging infrastructure. The incident underscores the fragility of Cuba's power grid and its potential to fuel social unrest.
