Power outage hits the Czech Republic and disrupts Prague public transport
- On July 4, 2025, a major power outage hit central Prague and parts of the Czech Republic, halting metro lines and trains.
- The outage resulted from a failure on the V411 transmission line, causing part of the grid to lose voltage and triggering island operation.
- Authorities reported widespread disruption including halted trams, traffic light failures leading to accidents, trapped people in lifts, and hospitals running on generators.
- At least 800,000 people lost power, Prague mayor expected repairs in two hours, and Prime Minister Fiala called it an "extraordinary and unpleasant situation."
- Officials are investigating the cause as a priority while energy engineers work intensively to restore supplies amid cash access difficulties due to ATM outages.
