Update on the situation regarding the power outage in Spain and Portugal

Barcelona, 29 April 2025.- Cellnex Telecom has been working throughout the night and will continue to do so in the coming hours to ensure the proper functioning of all its services, including: radio and television broadcasting, networks for security and emergency services, including maritime rescue, which, apart from minor incidents, have been operating correctly throughout the country. This is all thanks to contingency plans and backup systems (mainly generators, which have days of autonomy) as well as the resilience of these critical infrastructures.

In the current context, broadcasting infrastructure has been key, becoming the main channel of communication for keeping the population informed. Emergency networks have enabled coordination between security and emergency teams such as the police, fire brigade and medical services.

In the area of mobile phone services, which depend on the company, Cellnex continues to work closely with mobile operators to restore full service, which is currently at 98%. The sites where power has been restored are now operating normally and are also being used to recharge backup batteries in case of another power outage.

The company remains in contact with the authorities and its customers and plans to keep the crisis committee in place until all incidents have been resolved, which it estimates could happen in the next few hours.
