Spanish island suffers brief power blackout
Tuesday 10 June 2025 - 21:38

A power cut briefly hit the Spanish island of La Palma late on Tuesday, six weeks after a major electricity breakdown disrupted the whole country and neighbouring Portugal.

Spain’s national grid said power had been fully restored to La Palma in the Canary Islands within three hours, after a blackout that affected some 82,000 people.

Emergency services had earlier said that the Endesa power company had blamed a generator breakdown at Brena Alta on the eastern side of the Atlantic island.

The major outage on April 28 saw internet services cut and trains and key infrastructure brought to a halt for several hours across mainland Spain.
