US EditionSpanish Scientists “Were Experimenting with How Far They Could Push Renewable Energy” Before Countrywide Blackout
- A major blackout affected most of Spain on April 28, disrupting power supply across the Iberian Peninsula and lasting 23 hours for full restoration.
- The outage followed a government experiment testing the limits of renewable energy integration ahead of Spain's planned nuclear phase-out from 2027.
- The investigation revealed wild voltage oscillations rising from 220 kV to 250 kV, triggering safety shutdowns and exposing grid inertia problems linked to mismanagement rather than renewables.
- AELEC, representing major energy companies, argued that the authorities reversed the actual sequence of events, emphasizing that it was the grid which failed to regulate power flow and subsequently triggered an automatic shutdown of the generators.
- The incident suggests Spain rushed renewable integration without adequate grid investments, risking green energy's reputation and political repercussions for the ruling party.
