The blackout is estimated to have affected the entirety of Portugal and Spain and small regions in France .

Getting the grid back up and running in both countries could take between a few hours to several days.

Engineers plan for failures in grids or surges in consumer demand that could destabilize the power supply.

The Iberian peninsula is an “energy island,” says Jan Rosenow , vice president of global strategy at the Regulatory Assistance Project .
