Cuba is without power again after a failure at a key plant near the capital brought down the national electrical grid.
The lights went out across the entire island of about 11 million people shortly after 2 a.m. on Wednesday when an automatic switch was tripped at the 330-megawatt capacity CTE Antonio Guiteras, Cuba’s ministry of energy and mines said on social media.
