Analysis

Spain has encountered a serious problem with electricity supply, which led to the declaration of a state of emergency. The power outage caused empty shelves in supermarkets and panic among the population. The sale of backup power devices at high prices became an additional manifestation of the crisis. However, energy workers have already started restoring electricity supply in some regions of the country, which alleviates some of the negative impact on the population. The Minister of Energy of Ukraine expressed readiness to help restore the stable operation of energy networks in European countries, emphasizing the experience of Ukrainian specialists in this field.
