Summary
Spain and Portugal are recovering from a massive power outage that occurred on Monday, causing widespread disruption, particularly in transport and communications. By Tuesday morning, Spain’s grid operator, Red Eléctrica, reported that over 99% of energy demand had been restored, although the cause of the blackout remains unknown. While some train services resumed, Madrid’s metro services were still suspended, and concerns about the reliability of power networks amid a shift towards renewable energy have intensified following this incident.
