17-3 Cuba’s National Electric Union announced that the entire national electric grid collapsed today. The outage leaves around 10 million people without power amid the U.S.-imposed oil blockade on the island nation.

CUBA NEARING TOTAL ENERGY COLLAPSE, “OPTION ZERO” warning issued by Cuban government
Reports from within Cuba indicate the government has issued an emergency Civil Defense communiqué warning of the imminent activation of “Option Zero.” The warning was reportedly distributed via SMS to the Cuban population, advising citizens to immediately prepare for a nationwide collapse of fuel supplies and electrical generation. Officials warn remaining fuel reserves could be fully depleted within hours, with a 98% probability that the country will enter a full national energy shutdown this weekend.
If activated, “Option Zero” represents a worst-case national emergency scenario in which the Cuban state can no longer sustain normal economic or civilian infrastructure, effectively halting normal civilian life across the island.

Immediate National Impacts Expected
─────────────
Transportation
* Public transportation would cease almost entirely
* Long-distance travel suspended
* Remaining fuel reserved for emergency services and military
Electricity
* Nationwide power outages likely
* Electricity prioritized for hospitals and critical infrastructure
* Households may face 24+ hours without electricity
Water
* Water pumping systems expected to fail without electrical power
* Citizens instructed to immediately store water supplies
Food
* National rationing system expected to tighten further
* Refrigeration chains likely to fail
* Food distribution prioritized for strategic facilities
Communications
* Cell networks and internet services may degrade or fail as base stations lose power
─────────────
Strategic Context
─────────────
Cuba’s power grid has been under severe stress for years, driven by:
* Aging thermoelectric plants
* Chronic fuel shortages
* Limited foreign currency for imports
* Declining Venezuelan oil shipments
* Severe infrastructure degradation
* Recent sanctions and restrictions impacting critical supply imports
Blackouts have already become routine across much of the island, with some regions experiencing 12–18 hour daily outages in recent months.

DSG Assessment
─────────────
If the government proceeds with activating Option Zero, it would signal one of the most severe systemic infrastructure failures in Cuba since the 1990s “Special Period.”
Potential consequences could include:
* Large-scale humanitarian strain or crisis
* Severe disruption to food and water distribution
* Heightened risk of civil unrest, possibly acting as a catalyst for regime change
* Increased migration pressure across the Caribbean region

The next 24–48 hours will likely determine whether Cuba enters a full national energy emergency. The situation has the potential to deteriorate rapidly over the coming days.
