Spain launches probe into blackout as experts blame grid imbalance, not cyberattack

Spain’s High Court announced on Tuesday that it will launch an investigation into Monday’s power outage that swept across nearly all of the Iberian Peninsula, affecting millions in Spain and Portugal.

The probe aims to determine whether the blackout may have been caused by a cyberattack. If proven, the incident would be treated as an act of terrorism, according to court documents released by Judge Jorge Calama.
