The city witnessedCeutaA comprehensive power outage lasted 55 minutes and led to the operation of backup generators at the university hospital and vital facilities: On Wednesday morning, October 21, 2026, the city of Ceuta witnessed a widespread power outage, before supplies were gradually restored. Endesa announced the completion of restoring service to all affected subscribers at 10:34 am, after an accident that began at 09:39, so that the complete restoration of power took 55 minutes. The outage caused disruption to daily activity, as technical teams moved to restart the network and determine the circumstances of the accident. Endesa attributed the accident to a disturbance in the Algeciras Electrical Station, located in San Roque, Cádiz Province, which affected the network and the electrical connection with Ceuta. According to the company’s explanation, which was reported by Radio Cadena Ser, protection systems intervened and seven medium-voltage lines were disconnected, before returning them to service in stages.

The technical information published regarding Wednesday’s outage addresses the disruption to the electrical network, without announcing evidence of external interference.CeutaThe full reasons are still being analyzed. For its part, Red Electrica explained, according to what was reported by the newspaper “El Pais”, that an accident in Cadiz led to the separation of the cables connecting with Ceuta, coinciding with the loss of production from the local station units. The company stressed that the Cadiz accident alone does not explain the extent of the impact on the city’s supplies, and therefore it continues to study the causes.
