The disconnection of the pino in Havana represents an affectation for the national electro -energy system of about 240 megawatts.
Arequipa, Peru – The Thermoelectric Central (CTE) Antonio Guiteras de Matanzas is already online since this Friday, however, the energy situation on the non -aviz is improved, especially after the departure of the Pinana located in Havana for this August 2.
“Today, the disconnection of the 240 megawatts (MW) located in Havana, for commercial reasons,” announced the reporter of the ruling Lázaro Manuel Alonso, citing words of the director of Electricity of the Ministry of Energy and Mines.
According to the regime’s spokesman, “actions are taken so that such disconnection does not raise the levels of affectation of these days.”
In contrast, The daily part From the Electric Union of Cuba it shows that the energy affectation for this Saturday is high, which will involve blackouts for half of the island.
“An availability of 2,022 MW and a demand of 3,700 MW is projected, which would generate a 1674 MW deficit, for an involvement of 1744 MW,” says a Facebook publication of the state company.
In areas of the interior of the country, the cuts can exceed 20 hours a day, forcing many families to cook with firewood, improvise cooling systems, and completely reorganize their routines.
Older people, young children and patients with chronic diseases, are the most vulnerable sectors in this situation; which in turn aggravates food insecurity and limits access to drinking water and basic health services.
The energy crisis that Cuba lives is not new, but has climbed more intensity since 2021, when the mass blackouts began after the collapse of several generating units. To this are added the chronic lack of currency, inefficiency in state management, imported fuel dependence and the technical deterioration of an obsolete system.
So far from 2025, at least four national blackouts have been recorded that have left Cuba completely in the dark for several hours. Meanwhile, the regime maintains censorship about official protests and misinformation, without allowing free access to technical data or independent means.
On June 28, more than half of Cuba was in a blackout due to a 1907 megawatts deficit (MW), the greatest affectation that has been recorded in the midst of the energy crisis (not including simultaneous collapses throughout the island).
