Spain, Portugal and parts of France hit by massive power outage
Spanish news media reporting 6 ton10 hours to fully restore power to all regions.
Also still investigating the cause but suspicion falling on a cyber attack.
I haven’t seen a single source citing suspicions of a cyber attack. They’re not ruling it out, but that’s because nothing is (publicly) known.
CNN, five minutes ago as of this writing:

Some outlets are reporting a fire in the southwest of France is to blame, but French electricity providers have denied the claim. Portugal’s National Cybersecurity Center also said there was no evidence of a cyberattack being behind the power outages, state news agency LUSA reported.
While the exact cause remains unclear, governments have convened emergency meetings and electricity providers are working to restore power as soon as possible.
I do see other news articles on other sites speculating as to cause, including some about hacking, but that doesn't seem to be beyond guesswork. I'd think that if there were any firm information out, that CNN would have it.

Fucking Russia.
It’s gotta be right?
Trying to deflect attention and keep Europe busy with other problems while Russia keep raping Ukraine.
They're always up to shit like that. They like derailing cargo trains in Scandinavia too.
