Cuba: Eastern Provinces Grid Collapse Amid Deepening Energy Crisis

Cuba's energy crisis has deepened following a high-voltage transmission line failure that disconnected Santiago de Cuba and Guantánamo from the national grid, marking the eighth total or partial grid collapse in 2026. This incident, confirmed by multiple sources, has exacerbated widespread blackouts and water shortages, particularly in Matanzas, affecting hundreds of thousands. The immediate cause is a transmission failure, but chronic fuel shortages and deteriorating infrastructure are confirmed contributing factors.
