Recent Headlines: Major Power Outages Around the World
In the past few weeks, several countries have experienced large-scale blackouts that have made global headlines:
Chile Nationwide Blackout (Feb 25th, 2025)
Nearly 98% of the population was affected, with airports, subway systems and public infrastructure all taken offline. The government declared a national emergency.
Iberian Peninsula Mass Outage (Apr 28th, 2025)
