Der Blackout in Spanien und Portugal war wohl ein glückliches Ergebnis einer noch größeren nahenden Katastrophe, denn ganz Europa war offensichtlich nur um Haaresbreite vom Blackout entfernt:

This is truly bananas: all of Europe appears to have been seconds away a continent-wide blackout.

The grid frequency across continental Europe plunged to 49.85 hertz — just a hair above the red-line collapse threshold.

The normal operating frequency for Europe’s power grid is 50.00 Hz, kept with an extremely tight margin of ±0.1 Hz. Anything outside ±0.2 Hz triggers major emergency actions.

If the frequency had fallen just another 0.3 Hz — below 49.5 Hz — Europe could have suffered a system-wide cascading blackout.

At that threshold, automatic protective relays disconnect major power plants, and collapse accelerates.

And it's disturbingly easy to imagine multiple scenarios where that could have occurred...

Falls Sie sich fragen, was wirklich mit "NET ZERO" gemeint ist: Kein Strom!
