Cuba's national electrical grid collapsed on March 21, 2026, for the third time in March, plunging roughly 10 million people into darkness as decaying Soviet-era power plants and a near-total oil embargo imposed by the Trump administration combine to create the island's worst energy crisis in decades. The blackouts—triggered by cascading failures at aging thermoelectric plants operating at barely a third of capacity—have forced hospitals to cancel surgeries, left Havana residents without power for up to 15 hours a day, and intensified a broader humanitarian emergency that the United Nations has warned could lead to societal collapse.
