Cuba’s Power Grid Nears Total Failure

Cars That Think

Cuba’s aging thermal power plants—the backbone of the system, nearly all of which run on crude oil or fuel oil—are becoming less reliable, and must operate well below capacity because of fuel shortages and corrosion. Crucial renewable energy projects often get delayed due to bureaucratic hurdles and a lack of funding.
