Originally unknown, the massive electricity failure in Spain and Portugal also touched France, RTE confirmed on Monday. The network administrator specifies that “the houses have been deprived of energy supply for a few minutes in the Basque countries”, but that “everything has been restored since then.”
RTE also specifies that the Iberian Network “automatically disconnected from the European Network of 12:38 pm at 1:30 pm, the time the 400 kV electric line between the French and Spanish Catalonia was put into service.”

The French manager says that he is “mobilized” to “help the Spanish network manager”, while “700 MW of Spanish consumption have already been made through France by RTE”.
