A blackout occurred on Friday in Guadeloupe, a French Caribbean island, impacting the electrical supply for over 370,000 residents.

The local energy provider, EDF, issued a statement indicating that the timeline for restoring power remains uncertain.

The exact cause of the outage hasn’t been determined yet. Reports from France Télévisions suggest that the blackout might be linked to a prolonged strike by unionized workers that lasted over a month, focusing on salary disputes and other grievances.
At this time, there has been no response from the union regarding the situation.
