Cuba faced power cuts across much of the country on Friday, the Energy Ministry announced.
The power outages were caused by the failure of a substation, leading to the collapse of the power grid, it said on X.
The Ministry added that work was under way to restore supply.
In October, the power grid collapsed after an important thermal power plant went offline. Almost three weeks later, the power went out again when Hurricane Rafael hit the island.
Cuba is in the throes of one of its most severe economic crises since the 1959 revolution. The country’s thermal power plants regularly go off grid and require urgent repairs due to ageing infrastructure.
Power outages are a common occurrence across the country.
