”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.“

As @isotopp already mentioned.

Ionization induces a 0.1 to 10 Hz signal into the power grid.

Every speculation about a cyber attack was unnecessary. Physical effects are complex enough

induced atmospheric vibration

I would be happy for explanations? I understand that electric grids run at a specific frequency and probably don’t run if that frequency gets disrupted.

But which phenomenon can interfere with this? And can this happen again?

REN (Rede Eletrica Nacional) said it was “impossible” to predict when power could be restored and that it could take up to a week.
