Overview

  • Iberdrola will cut power in 18 Murcia localities and around 20 Valencia municipalities from June 2 to 6, with each outage lasting up to three hours.
  • Customers have received precise street-level schedules and are advised against performing maintenance on their private electrical installations during the interruptions.
  • The maintenance campaign seeks to reinforce transmission and distribution systems after the April 28 blackout that knocked out 15 GW of generation.
  • Government agencies and Iberdrola continue to probe technical, cyber and renewable-integration factors behind the continental-scale power failure.
  • The recurring outages have revived calls for increased investment in baseload power and grid upgrades to accommodate variable renewable energy.
