It was triggered by a technical failure in the high-voltage interconnector with France, which caused the Iberian Peninsula to become an \"electrical island\" unable to balance its own load. Because the grid was running on a very high percentage of renewable energy at the time—which lacks the \"inertia\" of traditional power plants—the system couldn't absorb the shock, leading to a cascading collapse in under 90 seconds. For nearly ten hours, 47 million people faced a total halt of metro lines, grounded flights, and failed telecommunications, marking the most significant grid failure in Europe for over two decades.
