I think it is unlikely there was a Cyber Attack involved. If it was the CPNI would have something to say about it, but then if they did say something it may well be only advised to people on a 'need to know' basis so the fact that we haven't heard anything is no evidence one way or the other. However I have heard that the wind farm trip was 2 1/2 minutes after the first (gas power station) trip which would be consistent with a system stability problem rather than a cyber attack.
The comments related of "they would have to leave the heater in babies room on" and "they should not be allowed to turn of lifts in buildings with disable people" certainly highlight the public lack of knowledge of the realities of the distribution network but I also heard that an MP has called for a 'review into our reliance on electricity'. I don't know what they expect to do - perhaps reverse the proposals to switch to Electric Vehicles?
