Cuba¡¯s power grid was restored Sunday, officials said, a day after the second nationwide blackout in a week as the crisis-hit island struggles under a U.S. oil blockade.

Two-thirds of Havana had power again in the afternoon, the capital¡¯s electricity company said, a day after the energy ministry reported a ¡°total disconnection¡± of the national electric system in the country of 9.6 million people.

¡°Thanks to the efforts of our electrical workers, the SEN (National Electric System) was restored,¡± Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz said on X late Sunday.
