first official statement said:
Rede Eletrica Nacional (REN), Portugal's grid operator, has since put out a statement, claiming that the outage is related to a "rare atmospheric phenomenon".
It said: "Due to extreme temperature variations in the interior of Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines (400 KV), a phenomenon known as 'induced atmospheric vibration'".
It added: "These oscillations caused synchronisation failures between the electrical systems, leading to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network."
This suggests that temperatures changed quickly in Spain, which affected the high-voltage power lines. As a result, this caused strange movements in the electricity, which made the power systems stop working together properly.

NYT the only place this claim of "fake news" is being reported
After a report that an unspecified “atmospheric phenomenon” had caused the outage, REN, a Portuguese electricity and gas supplier, vigorously denied that was the reason. “That news is fake news,” Bruno Silva, a spokesman for REN, said in a phone interview. “It is giving us a really, really big headache.”

suspiscion:
maybe it wasn't the weather that caused the " 'induced atmospheric vibration'"
but a plane, drone, or satellite overhead, or HAARP-type attack
in reality this would not be a cyber attack. but just what they originally said it was - an INDUCED ATMOSPHERIC VIBRATION.

'Rare atmospheric phenomenon' behind huge power outages in Spain and Portugal
Portugal's grid operator has revealed a "rare atmospheric phenomenon" contributed to the power cuts – but what does this mean?

Spain and Parts of Portugal and France Hit by Widespread Power Outage
The blackout hit critical infrastructure like airports and caused transportation disruptions across the two countries. The cause of the outage was unclear.
