“Some electricity was restored in Cuba, the government said Saturday, after the island nation’s worst blackout in at least two years left millions without electricity for two days. Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy said the country had 500 megawatts in its electrical grid early Saturday, compared to the 3 gigawatts that are normally generated. He posted on the social media platform X that ‘several substations in the west now have electricity.’ … About half of Cuba was plunged into darkness on Thursday evening, followed by the entire island on Friday morning after the plant failed.” (10/19/24)
