Residents of l’Esquerra de l’Eixample suffered a power cut this morning that lasted about three quarters of an hour, approximately, at around eleven o’clock in the morning. At about the same time, there was also a brief blackout in Sants. In the course of the minutes without light, and with the memory of the great national blackout of April 28 still fresh, Twitter users in the city wondered what was happening and whether they were the only ones affected.
In recent days, other parts of Barcelona have experienced recurrent power outages of indeterminate duration, which means an increase in one-off incidents, as reported by La Vanguardia.
Although these failures end up being solved relatively quickly, it is always good to know how to check which areas are affected by a blackout, in order to check if the cut has occurred in the house itself, in the building, in the neighborhood or even in the whole city.
An easy way to know where there are power outages in real time, inside and outside Barcelona, is to look at the online outage map of edistribucion.com. This interactive map shows the location of all power outages that are occurring in Spain at the time of the query.
In addition, other useful data is provided, such as the number of customers affected by each incident and the waiting time for service to be restored.
