E-Redes reported that electricity cuts tied to the Kristin depression have fallen to about 26,000 customers on mainland Portugal, with roughly 16,000 still blacked out in the most affected areas. Operators say around 5,000 customers had supply restored during the day as crews prioritised the hardest-hit zones. Those without power should follow local restoration updates from E-Redes and check contingency plans for heating and medical equipment.
Update: Conflicting outlet counts show 26k–31k outages
RTP and Expresso give a current figure of about 26,000 customers without power, with roughly 16,000 in the worst-hit zones and about 5,000 restorations during the day, while Correio da Manhã reported up to 31,000 earlier — a range reporters attribute to different update times and local reporting. Expect numbers to change as crews finish repairs.
