Europe's official grid authority has released its report on the nationwide blackout that hit Spain last April.

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 megawatt of that early loss coming from renewables. Gas and hydro remained stable (until the cascade was already underway).

The report's own charts show the sequence. As voltage at the Carmona substation plunged, trips snowballed - entirely from wind and solar. The report calls it "an unprecedented speed of blackout."

This was a textbook inverter-chain failure: 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.

@marcvidal Los propietarios hacen con su negocio lo que mejor les parezca respetando la legalidad. No veo cuál es el problema. Yo sigo teniendo trabajo pero he vendido mi coche porque me da la gana ¿y?

In 20 years, vibe coders will look at the Linux kernel repo the way we look at the pyramids. In awe, unable to imagine how they managed to drag all those giant stones and pile them up in the middle of the desert.
