220 kV line disconnection leaves Granma without power

An automatic disconnection on the 220 kV transmission line linking Granma with the rest of the system left the province without electricity. The territory awoke without service Monday after the link was interrupted. Available information identifies the electrical connection as the failure point but does not establish what triggered the disconnection or explain its origin.

Granma's Electric Company reported the incident through state channel CNC TV Granma. It described a trip on the 220 kV line supplying the province and said the cause was not yet known. The report confirms the line interruption but does not establish what caused it or attribute it to a specific technical problem.

Coverage distinguishes the cut from an earlier outage in eastern Cuba on October 10. That event left Las Tunas, Holguín, Granma, Santiago de Cuba and Guantánamo without power for several hours. It is presented as the most recent prior outage, so the two interruptions occurred at different times rather than forming one prolonged cut.

In the current incident, the central facts are loss of service across the province and disconnection of the line linking it with the rest of the system. The 220 kV reference identifies the infrastructure involved, while the provincial company's communication records that the cause remained undetermined. Available information does not establish the origin of the trip.

The report gives no exact start time or restoration forecast. Confirmed scope is therefore limited to the Granma outage and failure of the transmission line supplying the province. The absence of an identified cause leaves the incident unexplained even though the Electric Company communicated it through the state channel.
