Yep, sounds like "This was bound to happen at some point"
Which on some level is exactly "what the bosses and politicians want to hear"

When it's everybody's fault it's nobody's fault.

In some ways, yes, but yet it's what reality is. There was probably some last factor kicking in that triggered the cascade, but there were probably many non-happy-paths not properly covered by working backup/fallback strategies. So a report could totally still tell "it's X fault", pointing the finger there. Government would blame the owner of X, some public statement about fixing X would be made and then the ones working in the field should internally push toi improve/fix their own (reduced) scope.

I don't know what will come of this report in the next months/years, I will keep an eye on it though, since I live in Spain :)

But EU's liberalized energy market gives us resiliency and low prices for electricity! /s
