Completely mind boggling what's going on there. The amount of work to be put in to fix all this is enormous. I truly wish everyone involved nerves of steel and the best of luck.

The reporting seems a bit slow, as of right now the restart of the electric grid has been successfully completed without any major hiccups.

Regardless of how precisely the grid operators manage to handle this task in Spain and Portugal, they face a monumental challenge at the moment. If you're seeing estimates of several days for the restoration of power, it's because failing to meet this challenge will leave things back in the state they're in now.

I was much less impressed by the 24 hr turnaround before I saw this guy posting this halfway through the process in what seems like full confidence he had plenty of time to get it out in a relevant timeframe.

Good job Iberian operators, I guess?
