Spain and Portugal were returning to some semblance of normality early Tuesday, with many questions remaining about what caused one of Europe’s worst blackouts in years across the Iberian peninsula the previous day.
Spanish power supplies were back to nearly 100% capacity at around 7 a.m. in Madrid, and urban trains were slowly returning to regular service, according to operators.
Portugal said power has been restored for all users, and grid operator REN said the network is “perfectly stabilized.” Service had already returned to homes across large parts of greater Lisbon by Monday night.
