Key satellite services, including internet and telephone connections, were disrupted in remote regions of Greenland following a massive power blackout in Spain.
Greenland's Tussass telecoms company confirmed late on Monday that it had lost contact with satellite equipment based in Spain, which is critical for providing services to Greenland's satellite-dependent areas.
In a statement, Tussass explained that the outage affected essential services, including telephone, internet, TV, and radio. "Right now there is no contact with our equipment in Maspalomas in Spain, which we are deeply dependent on to be able to supply customers in the satellite area," the company said.
The disruption primarily affected remote settlements in Greenland, though it was not immediately clear how many people were impacted. The telecoms company stated that it was investigating the cause of the disruption and whether it was related to the ongoing power outage in Spain.
The blackout in Spain had a widespread impact, causing a standstill across much of the Iberian Peninsula. Power began to be restored late on Monday, although full recovery efforts were still underway at the time.
Tussass has assured customers that it is working to resolve the issue and will provide updates as the situation develops.
