Cuba's power crisis continues to escalate, with the rural areas being the most severely affected.

Since the United States cut off oil supplies to Cuba, the power outages in Cuba have continued to worsen over the past month. The Cuban power grid was already very fragile, and a critical power transmission line failure at the beginning of December last year temporarily interrupted the power transmission between Havana and the main thermal power plants in Matanzas, followed by the Trump administration intercepting a large number of oil tankers bound for Cuba, which originally transported 60% of the 100,000 barrels of crude oil needed daily for power generation in Cuba. Since the beginning of this year, Cuba's power supply has sharply declined. According to an analysis of satellite images by Bloomberg, the impact has been particularly severe in rural areas and provincial cities, but Havana has been less affected.
