First of all, Spain apparently has North Korea envy—you know, the North Korea where it’s Net-Zero Earth Day every day:
Spain & Portugal Monday night:
What’s the word the day after? It seems everyone is trying their best to avoid blaming renewable energy sources—especially solar power—from the blame. But reading between the lines it is pretty clear that over-reliance on renewables is likely the trigger for a cascading grid failure. This, from Twitter:
< From a deep groupchat, last night, translated from Spanish, written by an expert in transmission and distribution of power. Not my words.
"What has happened on April 28 has a well-located origin: the Aragón-Catalonia corridor, which is one of the most important electric highways in Spain. There is not only the electricity produced by our solar and wind farms in the northeast, but also the electricity that we import from France. This international interconnection, although weak (it can only contribute 3% of our demand, well below the minimum of 10% that marks the EU), in times of stress is essential to balance the network.
At 12:32 p.m., in that Aragón-Catalonia corridor there was an electric shock. What exactly does "shake" mean? It means that suddenly and abnormally, the power that flowed through those lines began to vary violently, rising and falling in a very short time. Such abrupt variability can be due to three main causes:

North Korea is actually doing a lot better now that we’ve driven Russia and North Korea into an alliance, thanks to the Neocon War in Ukraine. Spain, on the other hand, takes their orders from the Globalists (and Neocons, for that matter), so they’re descending into the gutter.
“Loss of synchronization” suggests instability due to asynchronous solar energy flooding the grid. A predicted and known risk due to high penetration of renewable-sourced energy. Some engineers here can probably say this better but that’s what I have gleaned from the reports.
There have been reports of an atmospheric phenomenon that literally shook the high voltage powerlines in the corridor from France to Spain. It is rare bit happens during heat and high winds. As the lines literally shake they move closer and farther apart from each other with gigawatts flowing through this lines the magnetic and electrical fields are massive this induces fluctuations in voltage, phase and frequency right in the heart of the main link to the French and EU grid. The protective measures would kick in isolating this link and it’s source of induced interference. This of course would set off a massive load shedding as every other connected substation overloads in sequence and they trip out to save the equipment from physical damages.
It’s pretty clear that the transmission infrastructure tripped out , the cause of that is what is being debated.
Sort of like a Jenga tower of power :)
