They will cut the electricity supply for two hours a day in Havana due to the "emergency."

The "solidarity blackouts" have returned to Havana, a clear sign of the deepening energy crisis affecting the Cuban population. Executives from the Electric Company announced that starting this Thursday, there will be two-hour power cuts, highlighting the government's inability to manage the situation.

The Electric Company of Havana announced on Facebook that service in the capital will be affected due to an emergency, due to a generation deficit in the National Electric System.

As a result of this measure, customers associated with Blocks #1 and #2 would experience power outages between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. this Thursday, while in the afternoon, Blocks #3 and #4 would also be affected, with service interruptions scheduled between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.

"The population is urged to implement savings measures in order to reduce energy consumption in the province, avoid overloads on the electrical networks, and decrease service interruptions," the company requested in the statement.

The situation of power outages in Cuba has worsened in recent days, and for this Thursday, the Electric Union (UNE) of Cuba forecasts an impact that during peak hours is expected to reach 1,305 MW of outages, a record figure so far this summer.

The availability of the SEN at 7:00 a.m. today was 2,060 MW and the demand was 2,650 MW, resulting in a significant deficit of 730 MW at that hour.

It was expected that by noon, the blackouts would reach around 950 MW due to a generation capacity deficit.

The written report from the UNE reveals that today there are two more thermoelectric units out of service due to faults, raising the total to six compared to the previous day.

The energy crisis worsened last Tuesday with the shutdown of the Felton thermoelectric plant, leading to an increase in blackouts.

Power outages of up to 17 hours a day have caused an increase in discontent among the population.

In light of this situation, Havana is reintroducing the "solidarity blackouts," which were implemented last May and reflect the worsening of the energy crisis in Cuba.
