Cuba suffers another total disconnection of the National Electric System.

The national electro-energy system (SEN) of Cuba completely collapsed again this Saturday morning, undermining the minimal progress made to restore it after the widespread blackout that occurred on Friday at noon.

This was reported by official media on their social networks, indicating that the Cuban Electric Union (UNE) is once again working on its restoration.

"Electric Company informs that today at 6:15 am there was again a total disconnection of the National Electroenergetic System," stated an urgent post by the official portal Cubadebate.

CNN correspondent in Havana, Patrick Oppmann, also confirmed the incident on his social media. "Just hours after authorities said that electricity was being restored slowly, Cuba experienced another nationwide blackout on Saturday morning," he noted.

The general blackout that occurred in Cuba this Friday morning after the unexpected shutdown of the country's largest thermoelectric plant, Antonio Guiteras, continued to be unresolved in the early hours of Saturday, despite some progress aimed at supplying electrical power to the thermal plants for their restart.

“At this moment, we have microsystems in all provinces except for Artemisa, which have limited power and serve consumers close to them,” said the director of Electricity at the Ministry of Energy and Mines, Lázaro Guerra Hernández, on Friday night.

The executive offered more details about the minimal progress made in the restoration of the SEN, indicating that the little energy being supplied in Cuba this Saturday came from generators.

“Gaining strength in the microsystems allows us at some point to start interconnecting systems to achieve a national link at some time,” added Guerra Hernández in a desperate attempt to convey confidence in the solutions of the same experts and authorities who were taken by surprise by a nationwide blackout that has made news around the world.

For his part, this Friday at the end of the afternoon, ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel wrote on his social media: "From the country's leadership, we are giving absolute priority to addressing and solving this energy contingency of high sensitivity for the nation. There will be no rest until it is restored."
