Power Returns After Widespread Outage in Spain and Portugal

A power outage that affected several countries, including Spain, Portugal, and briefly France, has largely been resolved. According to reports, some areas received electricity restorations by Monday evening, bringing normalcy back to daily life.

The cause of the outage remains under investigation by authorities, who are working to determine the root of the issue. The disruption had a significant impact on public transport systems, forcing many services to come to a halt.

Despite the restoration of power in some areas, shops and metro stations remained closed due to ongoing maintenance and safety concerns. However, with the return of electricity, daily life is slowly returning to normal.

As the investigation continues, officials are working to provide updates on when normal services can resume.
