What happened to Cuba's power plant?

The situation came to a head on Friday, when Cuba’s largest power plant malfunctioned, joining several smaller plants already offline. Foul weather had also stalled the arrival of fuel from tanker ships offshore, starving the island’s power plants. The combination prompted the entire grid to collapse.

What happened to Cuba's electricity grid?

(Reuters) - Cuba's national grid collapsed on last Friday, leaving the entire population of 10 million people without electricity and underscoring the precarious state of the Communist-run country's infrastructure and economy. Restoration of service is under way but long-term challenges will remain.

Does the US have a role in Cuba's grid collapse?

The United States denies any role in the recent grid collapse. U.S. sanctions, however, do complicate financing of fuel purchases and spare parts for Cuba. They also scare off many oil tankers, forcing Cuba and Venezuela to depend on their own obsolete fleet for transportation. But Cuba’s government has also acknowledged its own shortfalls.
