Spain experienced a significant power outage lasting approximately 23 hours.

The outage affected transportation and electricity across the nation, with a focus on the south-west region.

Power began to resume on Tuesday, with the grid Operator Red Eléctrica stating normal operations were restored by 11:15 AM.

The outage was prompted by two simultaneous disconnections in the south-west due to solar power saturation and subsequent connection issues with France.

On Monday, Spain lost around 15 gigawatts of electricity from its generation mix.

Recovery involved careful phasing to avoid system overload, focusing on hydro-electric and combined-cycle gas plants.

Morocco and France assisted by transferring power back to Spanish substations during the recovery.

By Tuesday morning, over 99% of power demand was restored.

The economic impact of the outage is estimated at €1.6 billion.

Political leaders have begun assigning blame, questioning the government's effectiveness in managing the crisis.

The Spanish public showed resilience, with many aiding those affected by the blackout.

Hospitals managed to maintain critical operations due to backup generators.
