Electricity has been restored to parts of Spain, Portugal, and France after widespread outages disrupted transport, businesses, and daily life. Spain’s Red Electrica CEO Eduardo Prieto said, “It could take 5 to 10 hours to resolve the problem,” indicating the issue may persist for several hours. In Spain, metro and train services halted, stranding thousands, and the Madrid Open tennis tournament was suspended. Madrid’s mayor urged residents to limit movement amid traffic disruptions. Similar outages hit Lisbon and Porto, with authorities advising against airport travel. France experienced brief outages, with power quickly restored.
