FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – Around 90% of Spain’s electricity has been restored following a massive blackout that left millions in Spain and Portugal without power on Monday, the country’s network operator announced early Tuesday.

The outage, which began around noon Monday, disrupted transportation, communication, and daily life across the Iberian Peninsula. While power restoration efforts have made significant progress, the cause of the blackout remains unknown.

Authorities continue to investigate the incident as technicians work to fully stabilize the grid. The blackout has raised concerns about vulnerabilities in the interconnected European power network.
