Spain, Portugal, and parts of southern France are experiencing a significant power outage as a result of a problem within the European electricity system. Spanish rail services are halted, and power companies are working to restore service. Portugal's E-Redes has confirmed a countrywide blackout affecting over 50 million residents, while also reporting a drastic drop in electricity consumption. Emergency measures are in place, impacting hospitals, transportation, and various activities such as the Madrid Open tennis tournament, as authorities urge citizens to stay home and wait for updates on restoration efforts.
Spanish railway operator Renfe announced a nationwide halt in train services due to a complete cut in the national electricity grid, affecting all of Spain.
E-Redes reported a significant drop in electrical consumption of over 90% across Portugal due to a deliberate decision to stabilize the grid amidst the outage.
