Unless you read the telegraph, then it's this:

A reliance on net zero energy left Spain and Portugal vulnerable to the mass blackouts engulfing the region, experts said last night.
In what is believed to be Europe’s largest power cut, tens of millions of people were left without electricity, while flights were grounded, trains halted and whole cities were left without power, internet access or other vital services.
The cause of the initial fault in the region’s electricity grid is still being investigated, and the EU has insisted that there were no indications that it was a cyberattack.
However, energy experts have blamed a heavy reliance on solar and wind farms in Spain for leaving the region’s power grid vulnerable to such a crisis.

Indeed. That is what is being surmised on the web.

And if Spain cant relay on Solar power, what chance is there for anyone else ?
If the excuses from the powers that be start to smell of a cover up, then its probably safe to assume it was caused by moronic net zero policies.
Do the Spanish have an equivalent of Ed Miliband ?

Horrible experience.

If it was a cyber attack, they would hardly admit it. What was bad was just how long it took to get power back online.
