On April 28, 2025, a large-scale power outage occurred in Spain, Portugal and southern France due to a power grid collapse, causing traffic paralysis and communication disruptions. People rushed to buy supplies and the backup power sources of hospitals were overloaded. 50 million people were thrown into chaos. Power outages have exposed the vulnerability of the European power grid. Previously, there have been many accidents caused by insufficient coordination. The Spanish power grid was disconnected from the European main grid, 5,000 railway trains were suspended, and airports relied on emergency power supplies. Scholars warn that if the power outage lasts for more than 48 hours, restoration may take some time
