3:50Now PlayingCuba has completely run out of diesel and fuel oil, the country's Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy has said.
In an interview with state-run media, de la O Levy said there were limited amounts of gas available, but that Cuba's energy system was in a "critical" state as a US-led blockade of oil to the country squeezed supply.
Protests against power cuts broke out in the capital Havana on Wednesday, with roads blocked with piles of burning rubbish as well as banged pots and shouts of anti-government slogans.
It marks the biggest single night of demonstrations in Havana since the energy crisis took hold in January.
