HAVANA, Nov 5 Normal time applies as of today in Cuba, with the clocks set back one hour, coinciding with the countries of the northern hemisphere.At 1:00 (local time), Cubans will have to go back one hour to restore normal time in the country.

For this reason, the National Office for the Control of the Rational Use of Energy calls to promote savings as a practice of life at home and in the workplace, as well as to move home activities outside of peak consumption hours.
