The government reports the continuation of the electricity deficit in Cuba and details the schedule of scheduled blackouts in Havana, valid until April 13, 2025. In the rest of the country, the situation is worse, with outages of more than 10 hours in rural areas.
The Havana Electric Company announced a new blackout schedule due to electricity generation deficitvalid from Monday, April 7 to Sunday, April 13, 2025.
This measure, which affects various distribution blocks at specific times, responds to the limited operational capacity of the country's power plants.
During this week, power outages will mainly occur between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., with rotating blocks assigned per day. Additionally, in emergency cases, an extra schedule has been planned with outages from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
The affected blocks are B1, B2, B3, and B4, who should prepare for scheduled outages that also include afternoons and nights, especially in cases of unforeseen failures.

Horseshoe error Pinar del Río, an hour and a half early in the morning and during the day, nothing to see. Personally checked that there is no water to drink here. We are abandoned. Where are those who protect us?
Everything that remains of the Cuban electrical system in ruins, serving the Havana residents, how much fear they have.
The blackouts in Cuba have no date; this is here to stay. What a disgusting country we've been living in.
calculation error….Pinar del Río….an hour and a half during the day ….and an hour and a half at dawn ….no more than that…… how does the economy recover????….who says how long this will last.????.the people of Havana are partying one after another….the streets as if there were no shortage of power generation….why don’t they put photos here of the streets at night and buildings in Havana ….
What an odyssey it is to live in this country, you can't even rest at night, and we are regressing by cooking with coal.
It's been 66 years since this started, and I want them to tell me what prosperity we have.
