Spain’s Power Supply Is Almost Fully Restored

MADRID (AP) — Power had almost fully returned to Spain early Tuesday morning as many questions remained about what caused one of Europe’s most severe blackouts across Spain and Portugal. By 7:00a.m., Spanish electricity operator Red Eléctrica said that more than 99% of energy demand had been restored. Power had returned to several regions across Spain and Portugal as the nations reeled from the still-unexplained widespread blackout that had turned airports and train stations into campgrounds for stranded travelers. Monday night, many city residents, including in Spain’s capital of Madrid, went to sleep in total darkness.
