Power restored in Oeiras, Cascais and Sintra after substation fire

Some areas of the municipalities of Cascais, Oeiras and Sintra were affected by the power outage, which began late on Friday evening, but the supply has already been restored, a source from E-Redes said.

According to CM with the Parede fire department, the problem arose due to an explosion followed by a fire at the EDP Trajouce substation in San Domingos de Rana.

“The incident has been resolved and the E-Redes teams are performing all necessary maneuvers to stabilize the power grid in certain areas,” the former EDP Distribuição said in a statement.

According to the company, the accident happened around 7 p.m.

The company added that at the time of the breakdown, it was evaluating “possible solutions and supply alternatives.”
