" Antonio Turiel, an energy expert at the state-owned Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), told Onda Vasca radio station on Tuesday that the fundamental problem was the grid's instability.

“A lot of renewable energy has been integrated without the responsive stabilisation systems that should have been in place,” he said, adding that vulnerabilities stemmed from “the unplanned and haphazard integration of a host of renewable systems”.

Both Spain and Portugal’s power grid operators have ruled out a cyber attack, but the cause of the outage is still under investigation.

The head of Spanish electricity operator Red Electrica, Eduardo Prieto, said two consecutive events, which took place at 12.32pm on Monday and then a second and a half later, pointed to a “generation disconnection” that had cut off the supply across the peninsula. While the system weathered the first event, but not the second.

Some have jumped on the suggestion that Spain’s push to use renewable energy had made an impact.

Last year, renewables accounted for 53 per cent of the country’s power generation. Solar photovoltaic (PV) accounted for 59 per cent of Spain's electricity at the time of the blackout, wind nearly 12 per cent, nuclear almost 11 per cent and combined cycle gas plants 5 per cent, Red Electrica data showed.

" Britain struck by unusual power activity hours before blackouts in Spain and Portugal

13:46 , Bryony Gooch
The UK was struck by unusual power activity hours before large swathes of Spain and Portugal were hit by blackouts, it has emerged.

Britain’s grid operator has confirmed it is investigating unexplained changes in electricity frequency seen early on Sunday morning and also in the evening. The system’s frequency must be
kept within specific limits for the lights to remain on. "

probably either been too sunny or it's the wrong kind of sun :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
interesting **** up, whatever the cause ... total chaos, country wide

At the moment our generation is being kept at over 50% gas which is unusual during periods of high potential green energy, looks like we are opting for lots of good old fashioned rotational mass to counter any unexpected "challenges" .
On a side note, Milford Haven seems to have upped their level of control around the petrochemical jetties...... probably all just coincidence 🙂

Good news . At last taking things seriously. As we've said before a small team with the correct knowledge could bring this country to it's knees very quickly
