Blackout colpisce metà di Cuba, inclusa L'Avana

Italiano

Il Sistema Elettrico Nazionale cubano è collassato a causa di un guasto nella centrale Antonio Guiteras, lasciando senza corrente più di metà del paese, da Pinar del Río a Camagüey. Tutta L'Avana è rimasta al buio dopo l'incidente di mercoledì.

Un guasto inaspettato nella centrale termoelettrica Antonio Guiteras a Matanzas ha provocato il collasso del Sistema Elettrico Nazionale (SEN) di Cuba intorno alle 12:41 di mercoledì. Questa centrale, la più grande e importante del paese, si è disconnessa a causa di una perdita nella caldaia, secondo un breve comunicato dell'Unione Nazionale Elettrica (UNE). L'azienda statale ha dichiarato che «tutti i protocolli per il ripristino del Sistema Elettrico Nazionale (SEN) sono già in atto».
