Has anyone ever heard of this "rare" phenoomenon"? A week to fix it?
'Rare atmospheric phenomenon' behind outage and disruption could last a week, Portuguese operator says
We've just heard from REN, Portugal's grid operator.
It claims the outage that's affected Portugal was caused by a fault in the Spanish electricity grid, related to a "rare atmospheric phenomenon".
REN says that, due to extreme temperature variations in Spain, there were "anomalous oscillations" in very high-voltage lines.
It says this is known as "induced atmospheric variation", which in turn led to oscillations which caused synchronisation failures between systems.
That led to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network, it adds.
It also says that given the complexity of the issue, it could take up to a week for the network to fully normalise again.
