The United States may face a massive power outage in the summer of 2025. This was announced on May 3 by the American Minister of the Interior, Doug Burgum, in an interview with Fox News.

"We saw what happened this week in Spain. This could happen in America as early as this summer," he said.

Burgum clarified that at the moment there are problems in the field of electricity generation in the United States due to the past leadership and administration of former President Joe Biden. According to him, then a threat was created to the energy system.

Large-scale power and communication outages occurred in Spain and Portugal on April 28. Major cities such as Valencia, Barcelona, Madrid, La Coruna and Seville were affected, and serious disruptions also occurred at Madrid's Barajas International Airport. Power supply problems were also observed in Andorra and parts of France.

According to Sergey Pikin, director of the Energy Development Fund, the reason for the shutdown could be an external impact on the energy system. Due to the incident, a state of emergency was introduced in the country. Spaniards began posting videos on social media with empty shelves in stores and queues for drinking water. At the same time, powerbanks in the country rose in price to €12,550.
