It’s looking like nice sunny weather in Spain, aka ‘extreme weather’, aka a ‘rare atmospheric phenomenon’ caused the outage in the Iberian Peninsula, which has apparently spread even further across Europe now.
Basically, it looks like the glut of solar energy generation destabilised the grid due to very low inertia levels:
Just days ago, they were boasting about record solar generation in Spain:
But all this misses the point; it was Starmer’s fault. He obviously didn’t dim the sun enough over Spain, which is why solar overloaded the grid. They’ll try to blame Putin of course, but it’s the UK government’s fault, putting too much effort into blocking out the sun over the UK whilst leaving the poor Spanish to swelter in unbroken sunshine, which has now wrecked their grid. We’ll have to hand over Gibraltar as compensation.
Addendum
Look, no chemtrails!
No spinning kinetic energy, no reactive power, low overload capability of inverters, all semiconductor with low I SQUARED T, so need to trip out at slightest overload and then the oscillations get worse. Atmospheric phenomenon I don't think so, a big alternator can withstand substantial (2 times ) overload for nearly a minute, it is a big chunk of metal takes a long time to heat up. The lesson is renewables are not reliable, will Miliband U-turn, probably not ,need more solar and wind.
So the future has arrived earlier than expected.
