According to E-REDES, the interruption was caused by a problem in the European electricity grid, which affected the national grid. As instructed by REN, it was necessary to carry out power cuts in some specific areas to guarantee the stability of the network. The service is being restored progressively.
The blackout also affected regions of Spain and France, due to faults in very high voltage lines of 400,000 volts. In Spain, autonomous communities such as Madrid, Catalonia, Andalusia, Aragon, Navarre, Basque Country, Castile and León, Extremadura and Murcia were impacted. In France, the Basque Coast and the Burgundy region also saw power cuts.
