Lisbon, Feb. 6, 2026 (Lusa) - A total of 93,000 customers were still without power at midday on Friday, following the passage of storms Kristin and Leonardo across Portugal.

In a statement sent to the Lusa news agency, the electricity distribution company, E-Redes said that at that time, in the most critical areas, the outages caused by storm Kristin were affecting 74,000 customers.

According to the company, the region of Leiria had the highest number of customers without electricity, with 49,000, followed by Santarém with 18,000, Castelo Branco with 5,000, and Coimbra with 2,000 customers without electricity.

The previous report, released at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, indicated that there were 89,000 customers without electricity, a number that has since increased due to the persistence of bad weather.

Thirteen people have died in Portugal since last week as a result of the passage of storms Kristin and Leonardo, which also caused many hundreds of injuries and displaced people.

The total or partial destruction of homes, businesses and equipment, fallen trees and structures, closed roads, schools and transport services, and power, water and communications outages plus vast areas flooded are the main material consequences of the storms.

The Central, Lisbon and Tagus Valley and Alentejo regions are the most affected.

The government has extended the state of emergency until the 15th for 68 districts, which will benefit from support measures worth up to €2.5 billion.

The state of emergency in mainland Portugal was initially declared between 28 January and 1 February for around 60 districts, and was then extended until the 8th for 68 districts, and again until 15 February.
