Cubas electrical grid collapses for second time, entire country again without power

HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba`s electrical grid collapsed again early on Saturday morning, state-run media reported, plunging the entire country into blackout for a second time just hours after authorities announced they had begun reestablishing service.

CubaDebate, one of the islands state-run media outlets, said Cuba`s grid operator, UNE, had reported at 6:15AM the "total disconnection of the national electro-energetic system."

"The Electric Union is working on its reestablishment," the brief message said.

Cuba`s electrical grid first collapsed around midday on Friday after one of the island`s largest power plants failed, suddenly leaving more than 10 million without power.
