Insights by Echo AI
Cuba is experiencing a severe energy crisis, with blackouts affecting up to 67% of the island simultaneously during peak hours. The crisis, exacerbated by the US petroleum blockade and obsolete infrastructure, has led to widespread power outages, with some areas experiencing more than 20 hours of blackouts in recent weeks. The Cuban government acknowledges the situation as 'acute' and 'critical', with the economy significantly impacted. The Union Electrica (UNE) predicts blackouts affecting up to 2,369 MW during peak hours, equivalent to nearly 71% of the maximum demand expected.
