Spain's Power Outage: Causes and Review
April 29, 2025
The Spanish electricity company Red Eléctrica reported that Monday's blackout was related to an issue with solar energy production. Solar energy was covering 59% of the country's needs at the time of the incident. Prime Minister Sánchez announced that an independent report will be requested to investigate the causes, along with the formation of a national inquiry committee. Although electricity supply has largely been restored, problems still persist in railway transport.
