The Spanish power transmission network company Red Electica points out that the power supply has affected the Pyrenees Peninsula.

Spanish TV channel RTVE reports that the power supply rupture was detected in several regions of the country at 12:30 pm (13.30 Latvian time), which has resulted in electricity in the Spanish parliament in Madrid and subway stations across the country.

People in Barcelona and its surroundings also report on the rupture of the power supply.

The Spanish railway infrastructure company « Adif » reports that train traffic has been suspended throughout the country due to a power supply break and a closed Madrid airport.

The storylines broadcast on Spanish TV shows people leaving the metro stations in Madrid, as well as showing empty stations with stopped trains in Barcelona.

E-Redes points out that electricity loss has also affected some regions of France. The media reports that the subway is not running in Lisbon and that traffic lights are not in the city center.

Meanwhile, Red Electica reports that the company has managed to renovate electricity in the north and south of the country, but the problem has not yet been resolved.
