"While you were asleep in Australia, Spain suffered a major and unprecedented
blackout – the comfortable majority of load in the country was lost in a
near-instant, around the middle of Monday.
Portugal and France were affected too. It is a developing situation at the time
of writing, with many, many people without power and without access to critical
services like transport, payment systems and internet."
"It is still very unclear what caused it. The most we have so part is
Portugal’s grid operator blaming an ‘atmospheric phenomenon‘ in Spain. Spain’s
grid operator hasn’t said anything, at the time of writing.
(Editor’s update: Energy analyst Gerard Reid says Spanish grid operator Red
Eléctrica has a power “oscillation” and Reid points to problems on the
Spanish-French power interconnector that led to the Spainish grid operator
islanding their power system and potentially losing control).
But that hasn’t stopped a wide range of people doing exactly what we expect
them to: blaming renewable energy."
