Electric Company of Havana announces the gradual restoration of service in the city.

More than thirty circuits in Havana have been restored after the general blackout affecting Cuba since last Friday, according to official sources.

Before noon, 20 circuits already had electricity in the Cuban capital, particularly in the municipalities of Guanabacoa, Boyeros, San Miguel del Padrón, and Cotorro, reported the Electric Company of Havana on Facebook.

However, in an update on the issue, the journalist from the official Canal Caribe, Lázaro Manuel Alonso, reported updated figures after noon, with 35 circuits already with electricity, which represents 64.29 MW.

According to the communicator, 16 hospitals in the city already have power, and 82,564 customers have service.

Residents in Havana are less accustomed to such prolonged power outages, a reality that is more pronounced in other provinces of the country, where they can experience up to 18 hours without electricity daily. However, the collapse of the electrical system on the island has affected everyone equally.

Since Friday at noon, the system ceased to function on a national level. The electrical flow that reached a few thousand users and powered the start of the thermoelectric plants through distributed generation disappeared again, along with the hope of overcoming the crisis.

This Sunday, significant breakdowns were reported at Unit 3 of the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes thermoelectric power plant (CTE) in Cienfuegos, and at the Antonio Maceo power plant, also known as Rente, in Santiago de Cuba, the latter leaving residents of Santiago and Guantánamo without service.

Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel has once again blamed the United States for the collapse of the electrical system on the island, stating that this situation is a "further demonstration of all the problems caused by the blockade, and the impacts of the blockade."

"Sometimes it is said that it's not true, that it's due to inefficiency, that people want to be bothered," again intensifying his justifications for that U.S. policy towards Cuba, which he expressed that many do not want to discuss.
