Before the outage hit, Spain was running its grid with very little dispatchable spinning generation, and therefore no much inertia. Solar PV/thermal + wind: ~78% Nuclear: 11.5% Co-generation: 5% Gas-fired: ~3% (less than 1GW) Snapshot at 12.30pm local time (outage was 12.35pm)

Spanish grid operator added that it was “very likely” (“muy posible”) that the 1st event was solar generation. But also said it was lacking data to say it conclusively.

Let’s see if I understood Spanish PM: - we should not eliminate any hypothesis, but he has unilaterally ruled out any link to renewables - nuclear power plants are bad - we should wait to expert reports, but he contradicts the preliminary findings from the experts at the grid
