On Tuesday, Cuba's Electric Union (UNE) announced a significant milestone: the National Electric Grid (SEN) was successfully reconnected for the first time since last week's massive power outage. This blackout had plunged a large portion of the nation into darkness last Friday.

At precisely 2:44 pm, the UNE shared a brief update on their Facebook page, stating, "The National Electric Grid has been synchronized at 02:44 pm." This marks a critical step in restoring stability to the country's electricity supply.
