"The lights are mostly back on in Spain, Portugal and southern France after a
widespread blackout on Monday.
The blackout caused chaos for tens of millions of people. It shut down traffic
lights and ATMs, halted public transport, cut phone service and forced people
to eat dinner huddled around candles as night fell. Many people found
themselves trapped in trains and elevators.
Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has said the exact cause of the blackout
is yet to be determined. In early reporting, Portugal’s grid operator REN was
quoted as blaming the event on a rare phenomenon known as “induced atmospheric
vibration”. REN has since reportedly refuted this.
But what is this vibration? And how can energy systems be improved to mitigate
the risk of widespread blackouts?"
