The company’s official channel reported that the specific causes of the incident remain unknown; they are currently under investigation, and the public will be informed promptly.

The UNE will implement protocols for the gradual restoration of the SEN, prioritizing the creation of micro-grids to supply power to vital facilities, hospitals, and water supply systems.

This latest outage occurs amidst mounting economic pressure on Cuba from the United States, which is blocking oil shipments to the island following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump last January; the order threatens tariffs against countries that export or facilitate fuel supplies.

Since late 2024, the SEN has experienced several total disconnections, compounded by the massive impact of the blockade Washington has maintained against the Caribbean nation for over 60 years—a policy that prevents access to the resources needed for the sector’s maintenance and development.
