Good news! The final ENTSO-E report into the Spain blackout is out
A complex stew of different factors, but "too much solar" is simply not even among them, let alone a major component.
As always: the narrative built by fossil/nuke advocates was wrong
www.entsoe.eu/news/2026/03...What is going to happen now is that a bunch of journalists are going to Ctrl + F "solar", screenshot what they find, and without understanding what they're looking at present it under a headline that'll look something like FINAL REPORT SHOWS SOLAR WAS TO BLAME FOR DEADLY BLACKOUT APOCALYPSE
The big talking point that emerged DURING the blackout, led in particular by Bloomberg's Javier Blas, was that over-reliance on solar resulted in low 'system inertia' (the heartbeat of the grid). Others, such as a prominent Norwegian nuke advocate, helped spread it.
it was COMPLETELY WRONG
Here's my
@[email protected] piece from last year on how inertia became the new baseload for pro-fossil, pro-nuke guys.
They defaulted to this without evidence because it's the most anti-wind/solar explanation available, and that's their agenda.
reneweconomy.com.au/inertia-is-t...Amusingly: Javier Blas has not posted about the new ENTSO-E report yet because he's distracted BY THE FACT FOSSIL FUEL RELIANCE IS DIRECTLY CAUSING YET ANOTHER MAJOR GLOBAL CRISIS
I reckon we know which system causes the most instability and darkness guys!
