CUBA'S POWER GRID FAILED FRIDAY NIGHT, LEAVING MILLIONS IN DARKNESS. (PHOTO).

Government officials blame U.S. economic sanctions for the ongoing crisis, while others point to aging infrastructure, fuel shortages and the islandā€™s susceptibility to hurricanes.

He gave no reason for the power gridā€™s crash apart from saying it started at the Diezmero substation, which then caused the National Electric System to fail.
