Canary Islands hit by a power cut a week after Spain’s outage

A power outage affected a third of La Palma in the Canary Islands at 9:57 AM, leaving around 30,000 residents in 20 towns without electricity for nearly two hours, though hospitals and airports remained operational. The blackout’s cause is still unclear, with e-distribución citing a ‘fault,’ and power companies Endesa and Red Eléctrica working to restore service, with over half of the power restored by midday. La Palma officials advised residents to remain calm, avoid overwhelming emergency services, and limit the simultaneous use of electronic devices after the restoration to prevent network saturation.
