Life in Spain and Portugal began returning to normal after a massive blackout disrupted the Iberian Peninsula, sparking investigations into its causes by government and energy officials. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez emphasized the need for preventive measures to avoid future occurrences. Red Eléctrica ruled out cyberattacks, human error, or unusual weather as causes, pointing to two disconnection events shortly before the blackout. Restoration efforts are ongoing, but rail transport issues remain, highlighting the significant impact of this unprecedented event on over 50 million residents.
"This cannot happen again," Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated about the biggest blackout in Spain's history, emphasizing accountability and preventive measures.
Eduardo Prieto from Red Eléctrica explained that two 'disconnection events' occurred just seconds before the blackout, with significant loss of electricity in Extremadura.
