Abstract

A major blackout in Spain and Portugal was caused by sharp swings in power, leaving most of Spain and all of Portugal without electricity. The outage, attributed to network oscillations, impacted public transport, airports, and phone services. Investigations are ongoing, with a possible technical/cable issue or cyber attack being considered as causes. The blackout is a rare occurrence in Europe, with efforts underway to restore power and address the situation. [Extracted from the article]
