Investigators from Spain's

cybersecurity agency (INCIBE) and the CNI intelligence service

will seek information from the country's grid operator, REE, and

private energy companies, including in visits to their offices,

as part of a probe into the causes of massive blackouts across

Spain and Portugal on Monday, two sources told Reuters.



The sources stressed that this will happen in full

collaboration with the companies and is aimed at gathering all

necessary data and information as soon as possible.



Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has announced a government

investigation into the massive power outage that halted trains,

shut airports and trapped people in lifts on Monday across the

entire Iberian peninsula.
