Two European countries, Spain and Portugal, were hit by a major power outage on Monday.
Tarakirivoice reports that while it is yet unclear the total number of cities affected, the two former colonial powers have a total of 50 million citizens.
However, Spain and Portugal’s capital cities were affected; subway networks, phone lines, traffic lights, and ATM machines were shut down by the power surge.
In Portugal, the outage hit the capital, Lisbon, and surrounding areas, as well as northern and southern parts of the country.
Quoting Spain’s public broadcaster RTVE, the Associated Press (AP) disclosed that the major power outage occurred just after midday local time.
AP further reported that Spanish generator, Red Eléctrica, said it affected the Iberian Peninsula and that the incident is being assessed.
