Ο Κώστας Παπαηλιού, Πρόεδρος του CIGRE, του Διεθνούς Συμβουλίου για τα Μεγάλα Ηλεκτρικά Συστήματα, δημοσίευσε ένα editorial στο ELECTRA (το ηλεκτρονικό περιοδικό του CIGRE) για το blackout.

I have never felt as important in my professional life as I did in the immediate aftermath of the recent Iberian blackout. Within hours, I found myself quoted in the Greek press and gave three interviews in one day—including one on national television. The key question everyone was asking: Could it happen again?

My answer was—and remains—yes.

I reminded viewers of the Italian blackout of 2003, when a tree fell onto a 400 kV power line in Switzerland causing it to trip—what a banal reason for such a massive disruption, affecting over 55 million people for hours. I remember it well. I was involved in the post-event mitigation measures, specifically  developing a novel suspension arrangement for the conductors on that very line to improve clearances and prevent future flashovers.
