I'm an educated electrician so I know how important it is to keep the freq. at 50.00 Hz

It seems that the power outage could become so large partly because of the modest number of connections the power network on the Iberian Peninsula has with the rest of Europe. The difference with, say, the Netherlands: there are connections with Germany, Belgium, the UK, Norway. On the Iberian Peninsula, those are just two connections: one in the north-western Pyrenees and one in the north-east. Normally, that is enough, but in a major disturbance like this, that modest connection to the rest of Europe cannot absorb such a blow all at once.
Spain needs to build a ‘delay’ into the system Because whereas nuclear, coal or gas power plants with their cumbersome turbines will continue to run for a while after the systems have blown out, with solar panels this happens acutely. With a solar farm, it's really ‘’whoosh‘’, and then it's off. There is very little reaction time. The lack of inertia is really one of the biggest problems of renewable energy. You can mechanically build in delay for that. We just use the power grid now in a very different way than we had thought of in the design phase. |

Spain ‘ignored numerous warnings about blackouts due to renewables’.

![]() Gazprom CEO Sounds Alarm on Looming Russian Energy Crisis Gazprom Neft CEO Alexander Dyukov has confirmed what energy analysts have long suspected: Russia is running out of cheap oil. The country is being forced to tap into so-called “hard-to-recover” reserves—deep, complex, and geologically intractable deposits that require expensive extraction methods, advanced technology, and massive government support. According to Dyukov, even maintaining current production levels now requires tapping into these complex reserves. At Gazprom Neft alone, more than 60% of oil production already comes from these high-cost sources. By 2030, more than half of new oil production across Russia is expected to come from similar sites.According to another source, the situation is even worse. The share of hard-to-recover oil in Russian reserves is expected to reach 80% by 2030. This was announced by First Deputy Minister of Energy Pavel Sorokin at Russian Energy Week. As was already said today, two-thirds of our reserves can already be classified as hard-to-recover, and by 2030 we will be talking about 80% or more that can be classified as hard-to-recover reserves, Sorokin said. This means that old high-yield, low-cost fields are depleted, Dyukov continued, and what remains underground is not cheap. The golden era of cheap extraction is over. What follows is a sharp increase in production costs, a decrease in profitability, and a growing dependence on the Russian state to keep the system afloat. Dyukov called for a major overhaul of the oil tax system to make these expensive reserves profitable. He specifically mentioned the expansion of the Excess Profit Tax (EPT) regime, which previously allowed companies to squeeze more out of aging fields. But behind the technical language lies a harsher reality: without tax breaks and government incentives, these reserves are unprofitable at current oil prices. And that has consequences. Russia is already selling its oil at a discount due to international sanctions. Now, with the average cost of production rising every year, the Kremlin is faced with a shrinking margin between costs and revenues—and, as a result, falling profits. This is not just bad business—it is a structural weakness of Russia’s war economy. Dyukov then cited troubling statistics. As part of the work of the coordinating council under the government of the Russian Federation, out of 220 types of basic equipment for the industry that were not produced in Russia at the beginning of 2023, more than 100 types of equipment have already been developed. In two years, they have not managed to cover even half the demand for key industrial equipment, and what has been developed is of unknown quality. The days of simply drilling and making a profit are over. What remains is a more expensive, risky, and fragile system that depends less on the oil underground and more on how much Moscow is willing to spend to extract it.If oil prices remain at current levels, Moscow could lose half of its production by 2030. These figures may sound sensational, but this is the new reality. The fields the Kremlin is now actively exploiting were discovered in the 1980s—and they are already 90–95% depleted. New reserves will never be as profitable, which could lead the Kremlin toward complete bankruptcy. https://kyivinsider.com/gazprom-ceo-...medium=bluesky |

You can feed the bear, hoping he will eat you last, but it is certain with bears you will be eaten in the end.

You just need to look at the energy prices in the UK to point you in the direction you need to go.
