A new “failure in the National Electro-energy System”, reported the Electric Union of Cuba (UNE), has the country in blackout from Cienfuegos to Guantanamo. Through its networks, the company ensures that “it works to solve the problem in the shortest possible time” and that they will continue to report.
The breakdown, they explain, occurred “on the 220 KV Matanzas-Santa Clara and Matanzas-Cienfuegos lines” and its causes “are being investigated.” In addition, they assure that “the restoration process has already begun.”
It is the third time in just over a week that the Island has suffered a severe power outage. Last Saturday, a six-hour blackout, which UNE attributed to “human error”left without electricity to much of the countryfrom Matanzas to Guantánamo, as well as areas of Havana.
That happened just five days after half of the island was left seven hours without light for another “fault”. The cause on that occasion was, assured La Eléctrica, the fire in a cane fieldof which the place was never specified.
