Around midnight, an emergency control system (Notfallsteuerungssystem) activated at the Kaliningradskaja-2 heating power plant, automatically shutting down part of its facilities. The outage affected several districts of Kaliningrad as well as the towns of Gurjewsk, Swetlogorsk, Pionerski, Jantarny, Gwardeisk and Bagrationowsk. Mobile internet was also disrupted. The regional government stated that the electrical load was immediately redirected to other power plants in the region. Grid operator Rosseti Jantar announced that all customers would be reconnected within approximately one hour. The number of affected people was not confirmed. The incident is particularly significant because since February 2025, when Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania disconnected from the common power grid with Russia and Belarus, Kaliningrad has operated as an isolated island grid with no external power supply. A failure of a major power plant therefore cannot be compensated by imports from the wider Russian grid. The cause was identified as a technical control-system activation rather than a cyberattack or external attack.

The Ministry of Mines and Energy declared the contingency resolved through Resolution 40596 of 2026, effective at 11:59 PM on October 31, 2026, after Spec LNG confirmed recovery of full capacity following corrective work on one of its four regasification trains. During the disruption, essential demand including households, hospitals, and schools was guaranteed. The terminal had previously faced a similar operational contingency in September 2026. The incident highlights Colombia's structural vulnerability: the country relies on a single regasification terminal to meet growing gas import needs, as domestic production has declined and proven reserves fell 16.8% in 2025 to 1,717 billion cubic feet. Imports reached 32.3% of commercialized gas in August 2026, up from 17.4% the prior year. The Ministry stated it would continue monitoring supply conditions, though the structural deficit in gas availability remains unresolved.

The facility, which primarily produces chips for data centers, was shut down for approximately two weeks following the incident. Intel's CFO David Zinsner told Reuters that the accident would reduce fourth-quarter revenue by approximately USD 300 million and lower gross margin by about 200 basis points, with a similar impact expected in the first quarter of 2027, totaling roughly USD 600 million in lost sales. Intel was still evaluating how many silicon wafers could be salvaged from the affected production lines. The disruption contributed to Intel issuing below-consensus Q4 2026 guidance, projecting revenue of USD 15-16 billion versus analyst expectations of USD 17.07 billion, and adjusted earnings of 25 cents per share versus 43 cents expected. The disappointing outlook triggered a 28.58% plunge in Intel's stock on October 30, 2026, its worst single-day decline since 1974, wiping out approximately USD 26.31 per share. The selloff also dragged down other semiconductor companies, with AMD falling 10.88% and Nvidia declining 4.22%.
