Spanish Scientists "Were Experimenting with How Far They Could Push Renewable Energy" Before Countrywide Blackout – The Daily Sceptic
- Spain experienced a nationwide blackout on April 28, 2025, which halted most of the country's power supply due to a system failure.
- Authorities conducted an experiment to test the limits of renewable energy reliance while preparing to phase out nuclear reactors starting in 2027.
- Voltage oscillations exceeding emergency levels lasted two hours before the blackout, triggering safety shutdowns of multiple power sources, including solar, wind, nuclear, and gas plants.
