At 2:00 p.m., the electricity deficit in Cuba exceeded 1,270 MW, a figure that already surpassed the 1,264 MW forecasted for Thursday night, highlighting the increasing seriousness of the energy crisis affecting the country.
The pro-government journalist Lázaro Manuel Alonso warned on Facebook that in several provinces of Cuba, all possible circuits were turned off, indicating a night darker than planned.
The situation highlights the challenges faced by the Cuban electrical system, which appears incapable of meeting demand, even during periods when expectations were already pessimistic.
Alonso shared screenshots from several Telegram channels belonging to various provincial branches of the Electric Union as evidence of the extreme situation facing Cubans.
In several areas, by 2:00 p.m., circuits had already gone offline outside the scheduled timing, further intensifying the issues with the electrical supply.
This Thursday at 7:00 AM, the national electrical system had 457 MW affected due to capacity deficit, and by noon, this figure is expected to rise to 800 MW.
According to the daily report, a peak hour impact of 1,264 MW was anticipated, but by 2:00 p.m. that figure had already been surpassed, reaching 1,270 MW, which reflects the extent of the electrical crisis in the country.
