We lost electricity on Spain, hearing it's the same in France and Portugal, can anyone from other Eur countries confirm?
Yup...I've heard that it's also in france, spain and holand.Portugal is out, can confirmed.
For the love of god let it be aliens
Please
Had no idea they had electricity in Spain.
Are you in german or someone told you?Lights are on in Germany.
Paris here, all good.
Seems its Just whole Spain, Portugal, and a few parts on the south of France.
Internet works like crap taking mins to load for me, so cant edit shit myself

My money is on a foreign power testing the waters in what they can hack and shut off in the west.
No power here in Portugal.
I'm guessing cell phone towers have a backup seeing as my mobile Internet is working?

You could be right. It must be a covert sabotage action by Russia's FSB of the Spain and Portugal's combined power grid. The combined population of Spain and Portugal is a mere 58 million people so hardly anyone will notice the disruption, the whole thing can be kept out of the news and it will serve as the perfect preparation for a future attack on the Baltics (population 6 million with close to non existent army).
This makes so much sense that I'll disregard any news about more logical explanations.
Some DEI hire flipped the wrong switch probably.
The boat of engineers was delayed so sadly it was just doctors and surgeons this time.I mean, boats are full of African engineers so he couldn't be incompetent.

Yes. It is the drawback of centralized grids. It does put in perspective that you can shutdown the whole grid, infrastructure etc. across multiple european countries at once. Can be used in wars - shutdown grid and no trains are running, decimating logistics. Plus airports.Entire first world countries can lose power in peace time…?

Well, unfortunately we don't seem to be living in peace time anymoreEntire first world countries can lose power in peace time…?
Those are the largest children I've ever seen!
Seems like they are trying to make a Black Start in Spain right now.
The last days, renewables have been on a new peak. Now its too sunny and windy at the same time, so the electricity is blocking itself.
Happens when you invest only in solar and windcraft but use lines from the 1920s.
oh boy, where do I startElectricity blocking itself is a thing?
Not full country but provinces and states are just as big as Euro countries. Was major at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003All good in Greece, browsing gaf from work...
I cannot recall hearing ever about a country wide black out.... Has this happened anywhere before?
I should bloody hope so. The only smart thinking country in Europe to make their own..I have electricity here in France
Oversupply could conceivably damage infrastructure on the grid or trigger elements to automatically disconnect.Electricity blocking itself is a thing?
