Update on the situation in Havana.

Update on the situation in Havana.

The Havana Electric Company has managed to restore service to 97.57% of the capital’s customers, as reported in its Information Note No. 11.

Although the recovery process continues, there are already 40 hospitals that have electricity again, along with 10 key water supply sources in the city, among which Paso Seco, Palatino, Planta Filtro and 4 Caminos stand out. The company is making progress in reestablishing the affected transformer banks, reaching 93.92% service coverage.

At the level of primary distribution circuits, restoration progresses at 97.33%, while transmission and subtransmission circuits are fully operational. However, the most affected areas, such as El Wajay, Primero de Mayo, and areas of Boyeros and Playa, require special attention due to the complex breakdowns they present.

The Electric Company keeps citizens informed through its official social networks on Facebook, X and Telegram, in addition to command posts in all municipalities of the capital, where progress is monitored in real time.

The blackout situation in Cuba has worsened in recent months, with problems attributed to both a lack of fuel and failures in the electrical infrastructure. The Cuban Electrical Union has confirmed that recent natural disasters have exacerbated these difficulties, creating an additional challenge for the island’s energy supply.
