A power system failure affects the entire country. Red Eléctrica activates plans to restore electrical supply
The massive power outage leaves a large part of the country without light, internet, and phone this Monday around 12:35 in the afternoon. Several cities are affected, including Seville, Barcelona, and Pamplona.
In the midst of the crisis, several people have been trapped in elevators, garages, and buildings that operate on energy. Various users have posted on social media about their situation. In addition, the emergency number 112 has received several calls from citizens.
Red Eléctrica has announced the activation of plans to restore electrical supply, so those affected are waiting for the return of energy. The big blackout has also disrupted traffic lights and has affected the operation of the Madrid Metro, which had to be evacuated in the darkness.
