On March 22, 2026, Cuba faced its second nationwide blackout within a week, exacerbating existing issues within its power infrastructure.

The outages left many areas in complete darkness, necessitating the use of flashlights for navigation.

These blackouts have been attributed to the aging state of the power grid, alongside the impacts of the US oil blockade, which continues to strain energy resources.
