It is thought the outage was caused by the tripping of a generating turbine.
50,289 users across the island were left without power as a result of the huge failing.
Power is reportedly still out on the island with restoration efforts underway.
Authorities have instructed residents to stay calm as they work to restore power to the island.
It comes after a series of blackouts have hit the island chain in recent months.
Santa Cruze de Palma, Los Llanos de Aridane and El Paso have all experienced recent power outages.
The latest of these, on May 8, left the power out for hours and affected several of the eight municipalities in La Palma.
Today’s outage has been the worst of the recent blackouts with power out across the whole island and tens of thousands of users affected.
The Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Ángel Víctor Torres said: “I send all my support to the people of La Palma.”
He went on to promise that power would be restored as soon as possible.
