Cuba plunged into a countrywide blackout on Friday, after one of the island’s major power plants failed and caused the national electrical grid to shut down, its energy ministry said.
The government had already closed schools and sent most state workers home in a last-ditch effort to keep the lights on during severe power shortages. But shortly before midday, the country’s largest and most efficient power plant went offline, prompting a total grid failure and leaving approximately 10 million people without power. Officials did not say what had caused the plant to fail.
"We are going through complicated times, every Cuban knows that. And well, I suppose the measures that have been taken are for our good but the people are feeling it,” said local resident Marcos Antonio Rosello. “But well, we are surviving and seeing what we have to face now."
The blackout marks a new low point on an island where life has become increasingly unbearable, with residents already suffering from shortages of food, fuel, water and medicine.
