The national electricity system of Cuba is on the brink of another total collapse, a situation that keeps the citizens on edge due to the increase in blackouts and the instability of the power supply.
Social media users have expressed their frustration and despair regarding the situation, warning about the severe consequences of a prolonged collapse on the island, particularly in the central-eastern region, which has been the most affected by power outages.
In a situation where the generation deficit for this Thursday is approaching 1,600 MW, and with multiple thermoelectric plants either out of service or operating below capacity, Cubans are increasingly likely to face the prospect of the country experiencing a total blackout again, similar to the recent occurrence.
Additionally, criticism persists regarding the management of fuel supply and the inequalities in energy distribution, especially concerning Havana, which has experienced less impact compared to other provinces.
User comments on the social media platforms of Cuba's Electric Union (UNE) reflect the deep concern of the public regarding the energy crisis and the imminent collapse of infrastructure.
"Every day, two of them stop working; we are heading straight towards a total chaos of electricity in the country. The collapse is just around the corner."
"Let’s keep holding on while everything collapses."
"Let's not protest anymore. It's already known that we'll endure anything. The blame is ours for allowing it."
"Today marks the total collapse of the SEN with no possibility of reconnecting."
"The report states that there is fuel, but the logistics for distributing it are incomprehensible. Something doesn't add up."
"The SEN is impossible to understand. This is unbelievable." "The collapse is imminent. Tick Tock." "We are just hours away from the collapse. Tick Tock."
"If another thermoelectric plant goes offline, a total disconnection is most likely to occur."
"It's just a short time until the total blackout again."
"What is lacking for the collapse is nothing. We are still in the same situation."
"The SEN is in a critical condition. It could collapse at any moment."
"The collapse is coming. Help, this is agonizing."
"The energy collapse in Cuba is approaching. This is a lack of respect."
