The alleged Citibank outage follows massive blackouts hitting multiple European countries.
Per CNN:
Power has been restored to tens of millions of people across almost all of Spain and Portugal, but disruptions to transport services were expected to stretch into a second day as questions mount over what caused a massive blackout.
Both countries remain under states of emergency after electrical supply was lost across the entire Iberian Peninsula, and in part of France, on Monday. The outage brought businesses to a standstill, halted elevators, knocked out traffic lights, and caused chaos on roads and in airports.
Experts say it might take weeks to figure out what caused the meltdown. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said late Monday that, according to the grid operator, it happened when 15 gigawatts of power were suddenly lost in just five seconds. “To give you an idea, 15 gigawatts is equivalent to approximately 60% of the country’s demand at that time,” Sanchez said.
On Tuesday morning, Spain’s grid operator said power had been supplied to 99% of the country, but the transport minister warned some trains would not operate, or would run at a reduced capacity - including the high-speed rail network.
Late Monday, power had been restored to most of Portugal, with videos on social media showing people cheering at night as the lights came back on.
Portugal’s Prime Minister Luis Montenegro said he did not yet know what had caused the blackout, but he blamed Spain for it, saying it “did not originate in Portugal” and that “everything indicates” the problem started in the neighboring country.
The outage took out lighting and power sockets, and caused subway systems to suddenly fail. In Madrid, traffic piled up on the roads after the lights went out.
