The Havana Electric Company published this luneThe new schedule of blackouts due to generation deficit, which will be applied between May 26 and June 1, 2025, due to the current electricity crisis throughout the country.This schedule will include scheduled outages in different blocks (B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5), based on time slots that vary each day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday.
Luis Rodríguez Vargas, technical director of the Havana Electric Company, explained to the press that rising temperatures have generated an increase of up to 10% in electricity consumption compared to the same period in 2024.
This sudden growth in demand has caused a rise in the number of faulty distribution transformers and hence, said, the increase in the number of blackouts in Havana in recent days.
"These breakdowns require more time to repair due to the lack of available resources," said Rodríguez Vargas, who also noted that this situation limits the country's ability to sustain the planned electricity generation.
Furthermore, the official explained that unplanned power outages at generating plants have made it difficult to strictly adhere to the scheduled blackout schedule, causing additional outages outside the established timeframe.

Despite affectationsThe Electric Company assured that a multidisciplinary group is constantly working to minimize inconvenience to the population.
"For example, if a circuit fails, we do everything possible to ensure that service is not affected outside of the scheduled outage hours for that day," the executive emphasized.

I hope the people of Pinar del Río enjoy this planning... up to 18 hours without power... sometimes 25 hours... you are privileged...
Havana is Cuba, the rest is green areas, the inhabitants of Havana are people, the rest are dogs, greetings
Where can I check my electronic block in Havana to be better prepared for the increase in blackouts?
What I would like to know is why the same circuits and blocks are always affected in the 4th, which is too many, and in Cojimar a large number of people are not relieved because of some containers that are there by the fence and the polyclinic supposedly. I ask, is it not possible to rotate one week for some and another for the others because we don't have gas, we have to do everything with the current and we almost never have it, and also almost every day at night and in the early morning. I also think that the problem in the country is for everyone, not just a few.
What a lack of respect to other people from other provinces of the country, for example Cienfuegos where there are up to 30 hours of blackout without planning, they take it away and put it on as they please, only 3 or 4 hours of electricity a day, the same at dawn, if that's the case, you have to get up and cook, turn on the turbine, wash, do everything you need every day and then go to work with your best smile, how long will the abuse of the Cuban people continue? And look at the way they talk about Havana as if Havana was only all of Cuba, what a lack of respect, nobody cares about anything anymore, they only think about Havana, the rest of us could die, abusers, that's what they are.
I very, very much agree with you
