The source of a widespread power outage across the Iberian peninsula Monday was “probably in Spain”, Portugal Prime Minister Luis Montenegro said as lights began turning on in the capital Lisbon.

“The widespread outage of our electrical grid was caused outside the country, probably in Spain,” he told a press conference. Montenegro also said that power should be restored throughout the country “within the next few hours”.
