Spanish Minister rules out cyberattack as reason for April’s blackout

  • Spain's ecological transition minister Sara Aagesen reported that a major blackout struck the Iberian Peninsula on April 28, 16 days ago.
  • The blackout resulted from sudden generation losses in Granada, Badajoz, and Seville, but the exact cause remains unknown as investigations continue.
  • Aagesen said cascading system oscillations and a 2.2 GW cumulative loss triggered load shedding while demand-shedding attempts by the grid operator REE failed to prevent the blackout.
  • She indicated that there is nothing suggesting a cyberattack occurred and described its dismissal as very positive news amid the ongoing examination of millions of data points.
  • Spain's government aims to identify the causes objectively to implement preventive measures while sustaining the country's renewable energy commitment.
