I'm a simple emigrant, and in Europe the electricity was cut off

In Portugal, Spain, and part of France, the electricity simply went out like that. Not in some single place, at the intersection of countries, but in three countries at once. And there has been no official statement from the EU about the causes: the causes are being investigated. I already see how, in a single wail, the voices of all those who didn't save the changes will be woven together. In Germany, everything is fine with us, we can keep scrolling through reels, but the situation is strange. The range of possible causes in official sources varies from a fire somewhere in France to a cyberattack. As you understand, neither option is very good. I, of course, understand that we are talking about a united Europe, but I didn't think there was one single power switch for several countries somewhere. Andorra and Belgium were tangentially affected as well, by the way. It's unclear overall; could there really be no emergency backup systems? I mean, everyone knows there's this bottleneck and nothing has been done about it so far? One would like to believe that something like this wouldn't happen here. 🫣 And what do you think?
