On Monday, 28 April 2025, large parts of Spain, Portugal and southern France experienced one of the most massive power outages in recent years. Cities and municipalities on the Costa Blanca were also Alicante<\/strong>, Benidorm<\/strong>, D\u00e9nia<\/strong>, Altea<\/strong>, J\u00e1vea<\/strong>, Calpe<\/strong> and Teulada-Moraira<\/strong> were completely without power at times. Traffic lights failed, trains and trams came to a standstill, supermarkets and small shops had to close at short notice. Nevertheless, the situation remained largely orderly despite the exceptional situation.<\/p>

Following the widespread blackout on the Costa Blanca, it is important to remain calm and act pragmatically, normalising emergency contacts, checking updates and checking supplies so that families remain safe status while authorities provide information now and local services gradually restart important.<\/p>

Power failure - what is known?<\/h2>

According to the latest information from the Spanish electricity grid operator Red El\u00e9ctrica de Espa\u00f1a (REE)<\/strong> Within a few seconds, there was a sudden loss of around 15 gigawatts - around 60 % of the total national electricity demand. This extreme drop in load led to automated protective shutdowns throughout the entire interconnected grid.
At the same time, the Portuguese operator REN<\/strong>, that unusual atmospheric phenomena - possibly strong temperature differences - had contributed to instabilities in high-voltage lines.
The authorities have ruled out a cyber attack. The exact causes are still being investigated.<\/p>

Clear communication: police and town halls ensured calm<\/h3>

On the Costa Blanca, it was above all the well-organised information chains<\/strong>Police, fire brigade and the town halls of the affected cities provided information about the situation quickly, clearly and transparently via social networks, local radio stations and emergency channels.
Traffic diversions were set up, mobile radio stations were activated and citizens were asked to avoid unnecessary journeys. This calm and professional communication played a key role in preventing panic and keeping the situation under control.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
