Cuba plunged into darkness again early Saturday morning after its electrical grid collapsed for a second time in just 24 hours. The nationwide blackout follows an initial collapse Friday afternoon caused by the failure of one of the island's largest power plants. Authorities had only recently begun restoring service before the second collapse.
Cuba `s electrical grid collapsed again early on Saturday morning, state-run media reported, plunging the entire country into blackout for a second time just hours after authorities announced they had begun reestablishing service.
Even before the grid`s collapse, an electricity shortfall on Friday had forced Cuba`s communist-run government to send non-essential state workers home and cancel school classes for children as it sought to conserve fuel for generation. The grid operator has not yet provided any details on what caused the grid to collapse again on Saturday, or how long it will take to reestablish service.
Strong winds that began with Hurricane Milton last week had also complicated the island's ability to deliver scarce fuel from boats offshore to feed its power plants, officials have said.
