💨 Abstract

Spain and Portugal experienced a major power outage caused by a rare atmospheric phenomenon that affected their power grid. The blackout may take several hours to resolve, leaving the countries in darkness. Experts predict a one-in-200 chance of a similar incident happening in the UK within five years, although the UK's power grid is considered reliable and robust. In the event of a blackout, essential services such as water, heating, and communication systems would be impacted.
