Antonio Costa: The cause of the power outage in Spain and Portugal has not been identified, but it is not a cyberattack  - 1

The cause of the power outage in Spain and Portugal has not been identified, but we have data that this is not a cyberattack. This was stated by the President of the European Council Antonio Costa during his visit to Stara Zagora.

He indicated that he has already held talks with the prime ministers of Spain and Portugal, as well as with the heads of the management boards of some of the electricity distribution companies. “They assured me that work is currently underway to restore the power supply. In some regions it has already been implemented, and in others it is expected to be restored to full capacity. We have to wait," Costa said.

We recall that large parts of Spain and Portugal were affected by a power outage, with the operator of the Spanish electricity grid "Red Electrica" announcing that it was working with energy companies to resolve the failure, Reuters reported.
