Britain is gearing up for potential blackouts similar to those recently experienced in Spain and Portugal, where tens of millions lost power. The government's resilience action plan indicates that ministers are proactively preparing for significant outages by taking lessons from past crises. The plan emphasizes that societal contributions are vital for national preparedness against disruptive events. Specific examples include blackouts caused by Storm Eowyn in 2024 and a major outage in the Iberian peninsula, where Spain's electrical grid was offline for nearly 23 hours.
