UK power outages - NOT amateur radio

All the public pronouncements have been that the recent UK power outages are from unexpected generator failures.

I hope this is the truth and that this isn't as a result of some malign foreign power or terrorists acting with ill intent on the software.  It seems odd (to me) that we have a major computer failure at a major airline a few days ago and now this. It will be interesting to see if a government COBRA meeting is held.

Perhaps I am being paranoid.
