古巴民众周二逐步恢复供电，此前该国遭遇今年第三次全国性停电，在美国燃料封锁引发的能源崩溃面前，民众的绝望情绪与日俱增。
这个共产党执政的岛国此前本就难以维持供电，此前特朗普总统在1月切断了古巴的石油供应，耗尽了该国发电厂本已日渐减少的燃料储备。
国营电力公司古巴联合电力公司（UNE）周一中午宣布全国“全面断电”，导致该国960万居民全部停电，但未说明断电原因。
该公司周二早些时候表示，首都已有超过30%的区域恢复供电，其中包括43家医疗中心和9个配水设施。
此次停电是该岛自2024年底以来的第八次停电。

能源和矿产部电力主管拉萨罗·格拉周一晚间在国家电视台表示，燃料短缺“无疑会让恢复进程复杂化”，但未给出修复时间表。
古巴总统米格尔·迪亚斯-卡内尔将此次停电归咎于美国对古巴的制裁政策。
“美国试图通过封锁古巴的燃料供应来实施扼杀政策，以此引发社会动荡，而古巴联合电力公司正在动员起来扭转国家电力系统的崩溃局面，”总统说道。
“电力工人在种族灭绝式的能源封锁中开展的工作堪称英勇，”他补充道。
此次最新停电发生之际，古巴政府正在全国范围内实施日益严苛的限电措施——哈瓦那部分地区连续停电超过30小时，一些农村地区甚至超过70小时——以不顾一切地节约燃料。
“这样的生活简直是煎熬，”51岁的自由职业社交媒体社区管理员梅博尔·丰特说道。
丰特表示，她所在的哈瓦那社区此前每天仅能“维持三到四个小时的供电”，但此次停电情况更糟，因为“你永远不知道电力何时才能恢复”。
“我们没有WiFi，没有电，无法工作，”另一个社区的一名旅游初创公司年轻软件程序员说道。
停电多年来一直是古巴日常生活的一部分，该国主要由苏联时代遗留的老旧发电厂组成的电力系统早已破败不堪。
自燃料封锁开始以来，停电和限电情况愈发严重，当局称缺乏驱动国家电网备用发电机的燃料。
自1月以来，华盛顿仅允许一艘来自俄罗斯的油轮停靠古巴，这是旨在结束哈瓦那六十多年共产党执政的施压运动的一部分。
特朗普将美国推翻委内瑞拉社会主义总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗、扶植亲华盛顿继任者的行动，作为他希望在古巴实现的潜在蓝图。
古巴多次表示，其政治模式不容讨论，并誓言以武力抵抗任何入侵。
美国的封锁，加上对古巴国营企业和与之有业务往来的外国公司的一系列制裁，让这个早已陷入代际危机的国家离崩溃更近了一步。
食品、饮用水和药品的供应日益短缺，一些手术被迫暂停，促使联合国发出人道主义紧急状态警告。
该岛的交通几乎陷入停滞。
上个月，古巴政府推出了一系列全面的自由市场改革方案，如果得以实施，将大幅减少国家对经济的控制。
但美国国务院驳斥这些计划是“肤浅的烟雾弹”，并称特朗普正等待“更实质性的经济和政治改革，使古巴具有投资吸引力”，并赋予古巴人民政治自由。
双方已进行了多轮会谈，但古巴外交部长布鲁诺·罗德里格斯上周表示，双方在打破僵局方面“没有取得任何进展”。
周一，哈瓦那指责华盛顿阻止联合国就其石油封锁和制裁展开辩论。

Cuba slowly getting power back after third nationwide blackout in 6 months; “This is agony”
2026-07-07 07:53 AM EDT / CBS News
Cubans were gradually getting power restored Tuesday after the third nationwide power outage this year, causing mounting despair in the face of an energy collapse precipitated by a U.S. fuel blockade.
The communist island was already struggling to keep the lights on before President Trump cut off its oil supplies in January, depleting the dwindling supply of fuel for its power plants.
Union Electrica (UNE), the state electricity company, announced a “total disconnection” to the entire island at midday Monday, leaving the country’s 9.6 million inhabitants without power but without providing a reason.
It said early Tuesday that power was restored to over 30 percent of the capital, including 43 medical centers and nine water distribution installations.
The blackout marks the eighth on the island since late 2024.

The lack of fuel “undoubtedly complicates the restoration process,” Lazaro Guerra, director of electricity at the Ministry of Energy and Mines, said on state television late Monday without giving a timeline for repairs.
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel blamed U.S. sanctions policy against the island.
“While the U.S. attempts to trigger social unrest through strangulation by blocking fuel access to Cuba, the UNE is mobilizing to reverse the collapse of the National Electric System,” the president said.
“The work being done by electrical workers amidst a genocidal energy blockade is heroic,” he added.
This latest blackout comes as the state imposes increasingly draconian power cuts across the country — over 30 hours at a stretch in parts of Havana and over 70 hours in some rural areas — in an increasingly desperate attempt to conserve fuel.
“Living like this is agony,” said Meyboll Font, a 51-year-old self-employed social media community manager.
Font said that her Havana neighborhood has been surviving on just “three or four hours of power a day” but that the blackout was worse because “you never know when it (electricity) will return.”
“We have no WiFi, no electricity, we can’t work,” said a young software programmer for a tourism start-up in another neighborhood.
Power outages have been a feature of life for years in Cuba, where the electricity generation system, composed mainly of dilapidated Soviet-era plants, is in shambles.
The blackouts and power cuts have accelerated since the fuel blockade began, with authorities citing a lack of fuel to run the generators that prop up the national grid.
Since January, Washington has only allowed one oil tanker, from Russia, to dock in Cuba, as part of a pressure campaign aimed at ending more than six decades of communist rule in Havana.
Mr. Trump points to the U.S. overthrow of Venezuela’s socialist president Nicolas Maduro and installation of a Washington-friendly successor as a potential blueprint for what he would like to achieve in Cuba.
Cuba has repeatedly said its political model isn’t up for discussion and vowed to resist any invasion militarily.
The U.S. blockade, coupled with a flurry of sanctions on the Cuban state and foreign companies that do business with it, have nudged a country already mired in a generational crisis closer to collapse.
Food, drinking water and medicine are in increasingly short supply, and some surgeries have been put on hold, prompting the United Nations to warn of a humanitarian emergency.
Transport on the island has come to a near standstill.
Last month, the government unveiled a sweeping package of free-market reforms that, if implemented, would dramatically reduce state control over the economy.
But the U.S. State Department dismissed the plans as “superficial smoke signals” and said Mr. Trump was holding out for “much more substantial economic and political reforms that would make Cuba investable” and grant Cubans political freedom.
The two sides have held several rounds of talks but Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said last week they had made “no progress” toward ending the impasse.
On Monday, Havana accused Washington of preventing a debate at the United Nations on its oil blockade and sanctions.
