STORYLINE:
The Portuguese government is convened for an extraordinary cabinet meeting to discuss the aftermath of the power outage the country has faced in the last 24 hours.
The lights came back on in most of Portugal by the end of Monday.The Portuguese government said early Tuesday that power had been restored to all 6.4 million customers.
Portuguese power distributor REN said electrical substations across the country were all working again by 11.30 p.m. local time Monday. It called the blackout “absolutely exceptional.”
Suburban trains were reportedly running normally, and the Lisbon subway said it was gradually resuming services.
Power had almost fully returned to Spain early Tuesday morning as well, many questions remained about what caused one of Europe’s most severe blackouts across Spain and Portugal.
By 7:00a.m., Spanish electricity operator Red Eléctrica said that more than 99% of energy demand had been restored.
Power had returned to several regions across Spain and Portugal as the nations reeled from the still-unexplained widespread blackout that had turned airports and train stations into campgrounds for stranded travelers.
