The Cuban government does not guarantee the full restoration of the electrical system in the short term.

"For this afternoon, it is expected that the country will have greater electricity coverage, based on the thermoelectric plants that should synchronize with the territorial microsystems. However, there is no certainty that the National Electric System (SEN) will be able to fully join today," highlighted the official press.


The Cuban government does not dare to confirm the total restoration of the National Electric Power System (SEN) throughout this Saturday, according to the latest update on the widespread collapse experienced the day before.

This was explained by the director of electricity of MINEM, Lázaro Guerra Hernández, during his appearance this morning on the Buenos Días program of Cuban Television to inform about the restoration of the SEN.

"For this afternoon, it is expected that the country will have greater electricity coverage, starting from the thermoelectric plants that should synchronize with the territorial microsystems. However, there is no certainty that the SEN will be able to fully unite today," highlighted pro-government journalist Lázaro Manuel Alonso on his social media.

Until late Friday, the technicians from the Cuban Electric Union (UNE) had only managed to create "microsystems" in all provinces except for Artemisa, which provided a limited power supply, insufficient to meet the needs of all consumers.

“We have microsystems in all the provinces, except for Artemisa, which have limited power and reach nearby consumers,” said Guerra Hernández while providing details about the minimal progress made in the restoration process of the SEN.

However, without any explanation of the causes, the SEN collapsed completely again this Saturday morning, undoing the minimal progress made to restore it.

The unleashed chaos led the Cuban ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel to visit the National Cargo Office of the Electric Union of Cuba (UNE) this Saturday with the aim of overseeing the restoration of the National Electric System (SEN) after the second widespread collapse experienced on Saturday.

"We are working by priorities to achieve stability and to increase the electrical coverage," explained the Presidency account, without detailing what the priorities are or the timelines to achieve them.
