Spain faced its largest blackout on Monday, impacting the entire power grid across the Iberian Peninsula and Portugal. The blackout was triggered by a significant drop in electricity generation that led to a complete grid failure. By Tuesday morning, over 99% of power had been restored, allowing transport services to gradually resume. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced an ongoing investigation into the cause of the blackout and met with the National Security Council to discuss the situation. While many services like Madridâs subway were restored, some areas remained affected by instability in electric service at the time.
"Spain suffered its largest blackout in history due to a sharp fluctuation in power flows at 12:30 p.m. on Monday, affecting even Portugal."
"By 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, over 99% of Spain's power supply had been restored, allowing for gradual recovery of transport services across the nation."
