The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|April 30, 2025
'One of the most serious episodes recorded in Europe in recent times,' an European Commission official remarked
Power was almost fully restored to Spain and Portugal on Tuesday, although many questions remained about what caused one of Europe's most severe blackouts that grounded flights, paralyzed metro systems, disrupted mobile communications and shut down ATMs across the Iberian Peninsula.
By 7 a.m., more than 99 per cent of energy demand in Spain had been restored, the country's electricity operator Red Eléctrica said. Portuguese grid operator REN said Tuesday morning all of the 89 power substations were back online since late last night and power had been restored to all 6.4 million customers.
