1:43Now PlayingWhile local power cuts are fairly common, what's happened across the Iberian Peninsula is something far more extreme.
Much of Spain and Portugal's electricity transmission system collapsed in seconds, including in major cities Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona and Seville.
The cause of the outage is unclear. Portugal's grid operator has blamed a "rare atmospheric phenomenon" that caused "anomalous oscillations" in high voltage power lines in Spain.
