HAVANA: The Cuban capital Havana will begin electricity blackouts in August, has cancelled its annual carnival and is taking other measures as the country’s energy crisis worsens, state media reported on Saturday.
The capital, home to a fifth of the island's population of 11.2 million and centre of economic activity in Cuba, had been spared the daily power outages of four or more hours that the rest of the country has endured for months.
