Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has urged private energy companies to assist in determining the cause of a significant power outage on the Iberian Peninsula, which occurred on Monday. The incident resulted in widespread disruption, with at least five fatalities reported, numerous individuals trapped in trains and lifts, and prompted government measures to enhance future energy reliability. Although energy firms dismissed the idea of a cyber-attack, the Spanish government has launched an investigation into the potential for sabotage, highlighting the critical importance of energy infrastructure security and collaboration between public and private sectors.
Spain and Portugal suffered a massive power loss that began just after 12.30pm on Monday and lasted into the night, affecting thousands of residents.
Sanchez summoned energy operators to an urgent meeting to investigate the blackout, emphasizing the need for swift collaboration between the government and private entities.
