🚨 April 28th, 2025 | Iberian Grid Blackout – What Really Happened? 🚨

🕒 At 12:33 CET, the Iberian grid faced a sudden defect (cause still under investigation). 🔌 Immediate trip of a major power plant in Southwest Spain. ⏱️ 1.5 seconds later, another key plant disconnected in the same zone. ⚡ Chain reaction: Massive solar PV disconnections 🌞 Disconnection from France 🔗 Cascading system failure → partial blackout. 🔍 Root Causes: 1️⃣ First Trip: Protection systems triggered by a defect. 2️⃣ Second Trip: Loss of synchronism (out-of-step protection or local voltage collapse). 3️⃣ PV generation lacks sufficient voltage support under critical conditions. 4️⃣ System collapse following an N-2 event, far beyond normal...

Portugal has emerged as a leader in sustainable energy, achieving a remarkable milestone in 2024 by sourcing 71% of its electricity from renewable sources and no nuclear power plants, and aims much more RE with the support of private IPPs in a win win formula

The target was reached with renewable sources and the energy mix was primarily composed of hydroelectric power at 28%, wind energy at 27%, solar photovoltaic at 10%, and biomass at 6%. Notably, our country operates without nuclear power plants, underscoring its commitment to clean and safe energy Beyond its energy achievements, Portugal is a true Atlantic paradise, with regions like the Azores and Madeira leading in marine conservation and renewable energy initiative. In contrast, France 🇫🇷 relies heavily on nuclear energy ☢️, with approximately 67% of its electricity generated from nuclear reactors in 2024. This reliance has facilitated lower wholesale...

⚡ Portugal’s Renewable Energy Future: We Need Action, Not Just Aspirations ⚡

https://youtu.be/zVYaGIRLzJI The PNEC 2030 targets are ambitious, but are we truly on the path to meeting them? Right now, the Direct Agreements - Terms of Reference remain Portugal’s only real chance of making meaningful progress, yet they are continuously ignored in discussions. ❌ 🔍 Key concerns: 👉 Why does APREN (Portuguese Renewables Association) focus on offshore wind and Spain’s installation numbers, while overlooking the pressing need to advance these projects? 🇵🇹🔄🇪🇸 👉 Offshore wind could cost up to €800M per year 💰—not including additional grid infrastructure costs—potentially worsening the tariff deficit 📉 👉 Meanwhile, studies on 78 projects 📑 should...
