    Netherlands checking in — we have power. But this is deeply concerning. Does anyone know the cause yet?

    German here, didn’t even know until now, that thats happening, but I also don’t watch news. So we have electricity so far.

    So if New York is hit did that mean Canada finally shut the power off to America 😉

    Macedonian here, we have electricity

    Clearly, we will start hearing all kinds of things, that’s a perfect moment to introduce chaos anonymously in the internet

    Good time to state the obvious: be safe everyone, and care with what you see in the internet 🥰

    I’m in Denmark. No power outage here, afaik.

  23. TM4rkuS Avatar

    Fine in Germany. Saw somewhere that Poland and Finland are also affected? Anyone here from those countries that can confirm or deny?

    No electricity in Spain, except from the Canary Islands and two cities on Africa

    No outage in France, didn’t know what was going on.

    Apparently because of an earth or phase fault caused by vegetation. If the network protection can’t handle that or at least gracefully isolate the affected areas, it’s a crap system.

    Portugal out.

    I don’t understand the why part of this question. If you’re impacted it’s coz you live in an impacted area.. if you’re not it’s coz you don’t.

    UK Seemingly OK (from IT friends all over).

    Where do Spain/Portugal get their energy from? Russia?!

  32. Consult-SR88 Avatar

    Fine in the UK where I am. I’d happily go sit in the garden in the sun instead of working if it went out though…..

  33. Practical_Average441 Avatar

    OK in Ireland so far, but we do take some power from france via an interconnector

  34. heartbeatdancer Avatar

    Italy hasn’t been affected, apparently.

    Timeline janked up, they had to restart the servers

  36. FreedomFinallyFound Avatar

    So, if Spain and Portugal, what about the next countries up and over: France and Italy?

    Anybody know? Haven’t seen a posting from them yet.

  37. 1312_Tampa_161 Avatar

    Out of 12 million tracked power customers in Spain 4,761 are without power.

    Does this deserve a reddit post?

    I’m in Barcelona everything went out, even tràfic lights, is caos. My cell network is also out. Just my FIL’s cell network works, I’m using that.

    It is Spain and Portugal. It is not Europe wide.
