Cuba blackouts: Havana wakes up in the dark after another electric grid collapse

Cuba's national electrical system collapsed early Wednesday morning after the country's largest power plant failed, the government says. The latest of several such failures comes as the island's grid falls into disarray amid fuel shortages, natural disaster and economic crisis. The system failure left Cuba's capital, Havana, almost completely in the dark. Lights before sunrise could be seen only in a handful of large hotels and government buildings across the city's skyline. The country's energy and mines ministry said the Antonio Guiteras power plant in Matanzas, the island's top electricity producer, had shut down at around 2 a.m., prompting the grid collapse.
