As the Iberian Peninsula begins to restore power following an extraordinary outage on Monday, states of emergency are being removed across Spain and Portugal on Tuesday, with the exception of Valencia.
Data from the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-e) shows that the interruption occurred just after noon on Monday throughout Spain, Portugal, and portions of France.
The energy situation in Spain and Portugal has returned to normal, according to EU Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jorgensen, who stated on X on Tuesday morning that the event was “the most severe for almost two decades in Europe.
Experts warn that restoring the grid after an outage is difficult and requires careful consideration to avoid creating another one, even as investigators continue to try to determine what caused the huge blackout.
Red Electrica, a grid operator in Spain, claims that the transmission grid is the “backbone” of a nation’s electrical infrastructure. It links power plants to major customers, distribution hubs, and other energy-generating facilities around the country. To move the energy produced by power plants from one place to another “efficiently and safely,” the grid is required.
