💨 Abstract

On April 30, a major power outage occurred in Spain and Portugal, affecting millions and disrupting critical infrastructure. Spain lost 15 gigawatts of electricity, or 60% of its demand, after two significant power disruptions. The cause is still unknown, but data shows voltage fluctuations before the outage, indicating an unstable grid. The incident raises questions about the region's electricity grid and the potential impact of heavy renewable energy supply on grid stability.
