Strategic planning and team commitment ensured uninterrupted services despite the national power outage
The successful activation of our Business Continuity Plan (BCP), combined with the unwavering dedication of our team, allowed Lleida.net to maintain full-service availability during the major blackout that hit mainland Spain on 28 April 2025..
Despite the widespread disruption, our systems operated at 100% capacity. “Even with the scale of the incident, we managed to carry on as normal,” said Jordi Ramon Piñol, CTO of Lleida.net. “It was the result of thorough analysis, careful forecasting and planning — both in terms of infrastructure and people — to handle adverse scenarios.”
Spain’s worst blackout tested Lleida.net business continuity
The power cut left over 55 million people without electricity for more than 12 hours. Like the rest of the country, it caught us by surprise — but we were ready.
This event highlighted the importance of having a strategic foresight and a resilient operational structure. In such moments, preparation and commitment become tangible values. Many of our employees continued working, even after hours, to monitor systems and guarantee real-time service stability.
Here’s how we ensured 100% service availability.
Immediate activation of the BCP (Business Continuity Plan)
At Lleida.net, scenarios like this had already been contemplated. As part of our commitment to business continuity and information security, and following ISO 27001 standards, we immediately activated our Business Continuity Plan (BCP).
This plan is designed to ensure the continuity of operations during critical incidents such as cyberattacks, natural disasters, fires, or other high-impact events. This event truly tested our Lleida.net blackout business continuity strategy and proved its strength in real time. Every action is clearly outlined, and while it may have seemed like a protocol we’d never need, being prepared proved essential: “It enabled us to keep all services running smoothly, without interruption.”
Lleida.net blackout business continuity: our real-time response
At 12:30 p.m., the lights suddenly went out in Lleida.net’s headquarters. Moments later, power was restored to our facilities, while the rest of the country was still in chaos.
Our backup power system was activated without any issues, supplying the necessary energy for an extended period. Energy-saving and low-consumption measures were also put in place.
Guaranteed connectivity during the blackout
Because Lleida.net operates with several redundant and dedicated internet lines, our connectivity was never affected.
Even under extreme conditions, our network infrastructure remained stable and robust.
Trust is built during times of crisis
Activating our protocols didn’t result in any service degradation. On the contrary — it confirmed the reliability of our operations and our commitment to maintaining a secure infrastructure, regardless of external challenges.
Thanks to a combination of planning, technology and human effort, we ensured uninterrupted services with no impact on our clients. The Lleida.net blackout business continuity case proves that preparation, infrastructure and people are the foundation of digital trust.
