It’s obvious they were testing how people react to energy shortages, not real accidents.

There is no evidence that recent European blackouts—such as the April 2025 outage in Spain and Portugal—were planned tests. Grid operators and authorities stated the outages were unplanned technical failures. Claims about government “tests” or experiments spread online without proof and were denied by officials. Power grids are tested using simulations, not by intentionally cutting electricity to millions of people.
