    A massive power outage hit Spain and Portugal on April 28, 2025, briefly affecting parts of France and disrupting life for millions. Trains, traffic systems, internet, and essential services were interrupted, with hospitals relying on generators and many people stranded. Power was largely restored by the next morning, with Spain and Portugal’s grid operators confirming normal operations. The cause remained under investigation, though Spain’s power company cited a strong power flow oscillation and loss of generation, leading to a grid disconnection. Officials ruled out cyberattacks, calling the blackout one of Europe’s most serious power system failures in recent years.
