Europe's official grid authority has released its report on the nationwide blackout that hit Spain last year. And while the report treads carefully politically, its data make the cause clear.
Wind and solar triggered the collapse.
Within the first 80 seconds, Spain lost 2.5 GW of generation, around 10% of its national supply, with every MW of that early loss coming from renewables.
Gas and hydro remained stable until the cascade was already underway.
The report calls it an unprecedented speed of blackout. This was a textbook inverter chain failure, with renewables dropping so fast that the grid's stabilizers never had time to react.
By midday, Spain's grid had virtually no inertia, nothing spinning fast enough to hold frequency steady.
But to admit that outright would mean questioning Europe's green transition itself, something the report appears unable to do. So the event is officially described as "a rare local disturbance," rather than what it actually was...
A systemic failure of weather-dependent power.

Os presento la aplicación: “Declaración de Bienes”, diseñada para explorar de manera sencilla y visual las declaraciones de bienes y rentas de los diputados.
Este proyecto abierto y gratuito nace de una idea simple: si la información es pública, debe ser usable. El control ciudadano no puede depender de descifrar documentos uno a uno.
Quiero dejarlo claro: esto no va de partidos, va de exigir a nuestras instituciones que cumplan con sus obligaciones de transparencia de una manera útil para el siglo XXI.
El objetivo es seguir mejorando la app con herramientas de comparación y filtros. Funcionalidades que la propia administración debería haber implementado hace mucho tiempo.

Si el máximo responsable policial de delitos económicos es detenido con 20M de euros, imaginaos lo podrido que está el Estado español… Huele a mierda que apesta, amigos. Esto se cae a trozos
@carlos_mazon_ Que si Carlos, que dimitas ya, tú y toda la cadena de mando que podía haber actuado y no lo hizo, ni en tiempo ni en forma. Dejen de montar el puto show y váyanse ya a tomar por el culo. Incompetentes.
Mozón es un incompetente. Un incapaz.
Pedro Sánchez actúa como un psicópata.
Margarita Robles se ríe.
Feijóo busca salvar el culo.
Rufián, tweets con banderitas .
Abascal, haciendo demagogia.
Sois lo peor de España. Imposible que deis ejemplo ni en esta situación.
