Investing.com -- Households in the Basque region of southern France experienced a brief power outage on Monday due to a significant power failure in Spain and Portugal. The French power grid operator, RTE, confirmed this in a recent statement.

RTE reported that they had deployed their teams to aid the Spanish grid operator during this crisis. They managed to restore 700 MW of Spanish power consumption via France. This effort by RTE helped to alleviate some of the effects of the power outage in Spain and Portugal.

The French grid operator also stated its readiness to increase its assistance to Spain to 950 MW. This will be done as soon as the Iberian network, which encompasses Spain and Portugal, is technically prepared to receive it.
