On March 13, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel announced that the country has gone more than three months without fuel supplies due to the U.S. oil blockade.
Díaz-Canel warned, “We are working under very adverse conditions that have an immeasurable impact on the lives of all our people,” adding that his administration is implementing measures to respond to the prolonged blockade.
Currently, Cuba generates electricity during the day using photovoltaic solar power. The country also utilizes associated gas produced during domestic crude oil extraction, as well as thermal power plants, to generate electricity.
