The outage, blamed by operators on temperature variations, left tens of millions across Spain and Portugal without electricity
Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has said “everything possible is being done” overnight to restore power to all parts of the country following an unprecedented regional blackout that left tens of millions of people across the Iberian peninsular without power.
Speaking late on Monday night, Sánchez said the idea was to get the power back on across Spain on Tuesday, adding that 50% of the national electricity supply had been restored in the past few hours.
