Three eastern provinces\u2014Santiago de Cuba, Granma, and Guant\u00e1namo\u2014have not yet been reconnected to the SEN and rely on microgrids that provide power only for essential services, such as hospitals, telecommunications, water supply, and food production.<\/p>\n<p>In Havana, power has been restored to 44.5% of all customers. It will take many hours, and perhaps days, to achieve full reconnection. Yesterday, amid the uncertainty, photojournalist Otmaro Rodr\u00edguez roamed the streets and the Malec\u00f3n on Monday to capture what the power outage cannot completely stop: life.<\/p>\n<p>Among the scenes he witnessed and captured with his camera were neighbors making do on the sidewalks, young people diving into the sea in front of Morro Castle, couples walking hand in hand along the water\u2019s edge, and elderly people moving chess pieces in the dim light of a doorway.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone is doing what they can to keep going, hoping that the power will come back on for at least a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>On the Malec\u00f3n, dozens of people were strolling, selling, swimming. The city remains alive, in a Havana that never quite goes dark.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
