On April 28, 2025, Spain and Portugal experienced Europe's most severe power outage in nearly twenty years, affecting over 60 million people. This blackout paralyzed transportation systems, disrupted communications, forced hospitals to rely on emergency generators, and even resulted in at least seven deaths, with economic losses estimated at up to 1.6 billion euros.
Although initial reports suggested the outage might have been triggered by rare "induced atmospheric vibration," both the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) and Portuguese grid operator REN denied these claims, noting there were no unusual meteorological phenomena that day.

This incident reveals the high dependence of modern urban infrastructure on centralized power systems and the operational risks faced when lacking backup power support during sudden accidents. For hospitals, transportation hubs, manufacturing plants, and data centers, stable power is not just an efficiency guarantee but a lifeline.
