Apagón total en Cuba: Colapsa el sistema eléctrico nacional y deja a la isla a oscuras
LA HABANA. — Cuba enfrenta este 16 de marzo de 2026 una de sus crisis más profundas tras el colapso total de su Sistema Electroenergético Nacional (SEN).
Según confirmó la Unión Eléctrica (UNE), una desconexión masiva dejó a cero la generación de megavatios, afectando a los 11 millones de habitantes de la isla.
Este apagón nacional, el primero que logra paralizar el 100% del territorio en este periodo, ocurre en un contexto de deterioro extremo de las plantas termoeléctricas.
Las autoridades informaron que se han activado protocolos de restablecimiento, aunque no se ha dado una hora estimada para el retorno del servicio.
La crisis energética sin precedentes en Cuba
El sistema eléctrico cubano operaba al límite debido a la falta crítica de combustible y un mantenimiento deficiente. Esta situación se ha agravado desde inicios de año tras el bloqueo efectivo a los envíos de petróleo desde Venezuela y otros proveedores internacionales.
Impactos inmediatos en la población:
- Servicios básicos: El suministro de agua potable está detenido por la falta de bombeo eléctrico.
- Salud y alimentación: Los hospitales operan con plantas de emergencia limitadas y la refrigeración de alimentos se ha vuelto imposible.
- Telecomunicaciones: El acceso a internet y las redes móviles presentan fallas críticas en todo el país.
Colapso eléctrico en Cuba
El gobierno cubano atribuye el colapso al embargo estadounidense, que sanciona a los países que vengan petróleo a la isla para producir electricidad.
La falta de inversión en energías renovables y la dependencia total de combustibles importados han dejado a la isla en una vulnerabilidad extrema.
