Cuban Electric Union Authorities (UNE) deny through official channels a piece of information that has been re-shared on social media, related to long blackouts on the island.
The Electric Union (UNE) of Cuba denied through its social media accounts the recent false information circulating about a supposed total blackout of 72 hours on the island.
The UNE "clarified" on his X account (formerly Twitter) that "it is false that there is a plan for a total blackout in Cuba for 72 hours".
According to the report, this news is false, and was originated in media outlets opposed to the Cuban government, and they aim to create confusion and concern among the population.
The spread of this type of rumors occurs in an already delicate context, marked by the effects of two recent hurricanes, medium-intensity earthquakes, and an energy crisis that has been worsened by the tightening of the US economic embargo, which has affected the island for over six decades, they said.
Power outages and blackouts in Cuba
UNE and blackouts in CubaThe replication of these fake news on social media aims to sow uncertainty among Cubans, said sources close to the government on the island.
It is important to note that, according to international law, they warned, "the dissemination of news that incites panic and terror among the population can be considered a crime."
The UNE urged citizens not to be manipulated by misleading information and to trust official sources.
Currently, unit 5 of the Mariel CTE and unit 2 of the Felton CTE are out of service. Under maintenance are unit 2 of the Santa Cruz CTE, units 3 and 4 of the Cienfuegos CTE, and unit 5 of the Renté CTE.
It is estimated that during peak hours there will be an availability of 1710 MW and a maximum demand of 3200 MW, resulting in a deficit of 1510 MW. If the predicted conditions persist, an impact of 1580 MW is forecasted at this time, they announced in today's report.
In uncertainty we live, no need for false news to believe everything that is published. How many times have we experienced an unexpected disconnection that coincided with false news—were they false news or not?
It's a shame and an outrage the reasons and arguments they use to justify the unjustifiable. They have gone over 60 years without replacing a nut in the industries, which, given the level of ignorance, stupidity, incapacity, and poor management, are the results.
All these are news stories that try to harm life in Cuba, we have problems, no doubt, but the promoters of this are worms supported by the USA who are afraid to come and fight for what they so much claim to want. True, many lies, but keep in mind that "THEY SHALL NOT PASS" worm-like creatures
Look, read the official gazette issued on November 26, 2024, Chapter VI, where it states that there will be blackouts of up to 72 hours. They published it themselves, and they lie to each other.

Atajo de mentiras
It would be better if they removed those planned 72 hours, I think we would be better off, after all they are now removing them daily and the same in the morning, in the afternoon, or at night, they are driving us crazy. 72×72 at least we would know we will be without disruptions for 3 days? Everything is very sad.
Crime is what they are doing to this country and its population.
