Spain's inquiry into the April blackout identifies failures in Granada, Badajoz, and Seville, with Granada's loss of 2.2 gigawatts leading to extensive disconnections. The specific cause is still under investigation.

Granada substation power loss pinpointed as ground zero of Spain’s blackout MADRID (Reuters) - An abrupt loss of power generation at a substation in Granada, followed by failures seconds later in Badajoz and Seville, triggered an unprecedented blackout across Spain and Portugal on April 28, Spain’s energy minister said on Wednesday. Sara Aagesen told lawmakers that the three initial incidents, whose cause has yet to be determined, led to a generation loss of 2.2 gigawatts of electricity, which triggered a series of grid disconnections. Several investigations are looking into the power outage, but it is the first time Spanish authorities have pointed to a specific origin. Establishing the cause of the outage will take time and there will likely be no simple answers to what appears to be a complex issue, Aagesen said. "We are analysing millions of pieces of data. We also continue to make progress in identifying where these generation losses occurred and we already know that they started in Granada, Badajoz and Seville," Aagesen said. A spokesperson for grid operator REE said Spain’s main transmission grid had no incidents on April 28 before the blackout, and the power loss "occurred due to causes outside" the grid, possibly at generation plants themselves or in smaller grids not managed by REE. The government’s investigation is also looking at reports by operators of volatility in the days before the blackout and is examining excessive voltage as one possible cause for the loss of generation, according to Aagesen. Investigators, Aagesen said, had ruled out any cyberattack on REE’s grid, an imbalance in supply and demand or insufficient grid capacity. She also denied suggestions by some opposition lawmakers that the government had received and ignored warnings from experts that a major blackout could occur, adding that it would be premature to attribute responsibilities until it’s known what happened that day. "There was no alert, no warning," she said. Spain’s use of renewable energy as an increasing part of its electricity generation has come under scrutiny since the blackout, as has its plan to phase out nuclear energy by 2035. Critics have said that one possible contributor to the outage may have been a lack of so-called "grid inertia" because of the relatively small share of nuclear and fossil fuel generation in Spain’s power mix. Aagesen defended the government’s energy policy, saying that renewables have lowered bills for households and businesses and will allow Spain to attract more investment while providing more energy autonomy at a time of geopolitical instability. Spain’s electricity system continues to use the same level of renewables as it did before and during the outage, she said. Aagesen signalled openness to extending the life of nuclear plants, but only if operators could guarantee their security and acceptable prices for consumers, and if this could be shown to contribute to security of supply.

By far the clearest article on the grid failure in Spain i.e. the #spainblackout that I read.

Lessons From the First Blackout of the Green Era Spain's blackout shouldn't trigger a retreat from renewables, but an upgraded grid is urgently needed for the energy transition.

#SpainBlackout
Good article but.
Good that it pushes for grid investments, but maybe it's better not to suggest non-renewable sources, if your problem is managing flexibility. Batteries and in general time shifting systems not gas-fired power plants

A deeply unserious situation

'This power loss was caused by the sudden disappearance of 15 GW of generation for five seconds. To understand the scale of the problem, the five nuclear power plants in Spain have a combined installed capacity of 7.4 GW'

What caused the blackout in Spain and Portugal and did renewable energy play a part? The countries boast high levels of wind and solar on their grids, leading to speculation about the robustness of the technology

Showing again why Nuclear Power needs to be a key part of any energy grid

#SpainBlackout Was it a cyber attack? Officials say no, but experts likely to blame an infected bat.

i heard all sorts of stuff yesterday at the #SpainBlackout LMAO.

Russia to blame. extraterrrestrials to blame. Net Zero 2030 to blame. NATO to blame. Trump to blame (this one is always good).

we really survive on pure vibes. #Slay #Slain #Spain

What did I do during the Spain blackout? What most of my neighbors did: go downstairs to chat, drink some beers, and reconnect with the neighborhood. #spainblackout

Well yesterday was super strange.
*No electricity
*No mobile network
*No water
For 12 hours!

Was a humbling experience, makes you realise what you take for granted, how lucky you are to enjoy these luxuries everyday and how vulnerable you are.

Power restored in Spain after massive blackout leaves millions stranded There is still debate about the causes of the disaster, at least things are going back to normal.

Power back on in Spain after a massive blackout affecting millions! 🙏 The lights are back on across the country. #SpainBlackout #PowerRestored #Spain

In less than 24 hours, 99% of the power is back on.

I can't imagine how complex this process is, but I'm proud (and thankful) for everyone involved ❤️

#SpainBlackout

Canal 24 Horashas been relaying La 1's Telediario for hours throughout the #blackout, but now there's a different La 1 show on the Apagon - but this time, with 24h's own news ticker, suggesting operations more or less back to normal.

La 2 is also back to its own programming. #SpainBlackout

Blacking out a nation’s power grid would be an act of war.
