The Spanish government has asked European regulators and various domestic agencies to investigate what happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Spain\u2019s National Security Council <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lamoncloa.gob.es\/gobierno\/agenda\/Paginas\/agenda.aspx?d=20250430\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">convened<\/a> in Madrid at 9 a.m. local time to discuss the blackout. Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez, the chief of his Defense Staff and the directors of the country\u2019s National Intelligence Center and Department of National Security were expected to attend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Spain\u2019s Council of Ministers held a meeting focused on the outage at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The blackout, which <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/28\/world\/europe\/power-outage-spain-portugal-france.html\" title=\"\">began<\/a> on Monday afternoon, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/28\/world\/europe\/spain-power-outage-photos.html\" title=\"\">halted much of daily life<\/a> in Spain and Portugal until electricity was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/29\/world\/europe\/power-outage-spain-portugal.html\" title=\"\">restored<\/a> to the two countries by Tuesday morning. It has raised questions about whether a rapid shift by Spain\u2019s national grid operator, Red El\u00e9ctrica, to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/29\/business\/spain-renewable-energy-power-grid.html\" title=\"\">relying on renewable energy<\/a> made the grid more vulnerable to outages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. S\u00e1nchez said on Tuesday that his government had created a commission led by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition to investigate what had happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Beatriz Corredor, the chairwoman of Red El\u00e9ctrica, said in an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/cadenaser.com\/nacional\/2025\/04\/30\/la-presidenta-de-red-electrica-beatriz-corredor-relacionar-el-incidente-con-una-penetracion-de-renovables-no-es-correcto-cadena-ser\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">interview<\/a> with the Spanish radio station Cadena SER on Wednesday that \u201cit is not correct to link the incident to renewable energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Spanish authorities are also looking at other possible explanations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Red El\u00e9ctrica has said there is no evidence of a cyberattack on the transmission grid. But a judge on Tuesday ordered Red El\u00e9ctrica, the intelligence service and the police to produce reports within 10 days about whether a cyberattack was behind the power outage, according to a court document.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. S\u00e1nchez said the National Cryptologic Center, a department of the National Intelligence Center in charge of cyberthreats, was reviewing \u201cthe risks arising from this electrical emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe computer records of Red El\u00e9ctrica and private operators are already being examined to ensure no hypothesis is ruled out,\u201d he said at a news conference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After power was restored, Spain\u2019s Interior Ministry on Tuesday night deactivated most of the emergency declarations that had been instituted during the blackout, downgrading many regions from the highest of three alert levels to a medium one, which allows the national government to assist regional governments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Madrid and the western region of Extremadura remained at the highest level on Wednesday, the ministry said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Portugal, Prime Minister Lu\u00eds Montenegro said after an emergency government meeting on Tuesday that the outage was related to an abrupt increase in voltage in the Spanish electricity grid, which triggered safety mechanisms that led to the blackout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe will calmly assess with the Spanish authorities what happened and try to design better response instruments in the future to avoid a repeat of this occurrence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The outage is expected to be a key topic during a debate on Wednesday between Mr. Montenegro and the opposition leader, Pedro Nuno Santos, ahead of a parliamentary election on May 18. The two had originally been scheduled to debate on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Tiago Carrasco<!-- --> contributed reporting from Lisbon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
