Looking ahead to this week, between May 16 and 22, numerous municipalities in the Community of Madrid will suffer scheduled power outages, as reported by Iberdrola through its web portal for breakdowns and outages of the electrical network. These interruptions in the electricity supply are not due to breakdowns or general blackouts, but rather to maintenance and improvement work on the electrical network already planned within the company’s modernization plan.
As has happened on other occasions, Iberdrola has explained that the cuts will be carried out in specific time slots and that, if they end before the scheduled time, the electricity supply will be restored automatically and without prior notice.
