On April 28, 2025, Spain and Portugal were plunged into darkness by a colossal blackout, impacting over 50 million people and causing extensive disruptions to transportation and widespread flight delays. In response, Spain declared a national emergency, with initial investigations swiftly ruling out a cyberattack as the culprit. The European Union deemed this blackout as one of the most severe power outages Europe has witnessed in recent years. By 21:00 local time, following nearly 10 hours of widespread power loss, electricity began to gradually return to certain regions. The governments of Spain and Portugal are now working tirelessly to fully restore power supply and meticulously investigate the root cause of this unprecedented event.
