‘Extreme temperature variations in Spain’ contributed to outage – Portuguese grid officialspublished at 16:10
16:10
We have a bit more for you now from the Portuguese energy company REN (Rede Eletrica Nacional).
It says that “due to extreme temperature variations in the interior or Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines (400 KV), a phenomenon known as ‘induced atmospheric vibration'”.
“These oscillations caused synchronisation failures between the electrical systems, leading to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network.”
As we said in our last post, Spain is yet to respond to these claims.

A rare atmospheric phenomenon causing chaos across both Spain and Portugal. This must be a nightmare for many businesses and households. Stay safe, everyone! 💡

The worm Israel unleashed on Irans grid went viral?
Yeah, Jorge took a smoke break when he shouldn’t have, that was the ‘rare atmospheric phenomenon.’ /jk

This is the reason why you hold have a 3 day emergency kit at home. Normally a power outage is small area, short lived, but this could take some days to be fixed.

It should be noted that this is claimed by REN from Portugal.
This is NOT confirmed by Spain.
First calling it: “rare atmospheric phenomenon”
and a few mins later “due to extreme temperature variations in the interior or Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines (400 KV), a phenomenon known as ‘induced atmospheric vibration
These oscillations caused synchronisation failures between the electrical systems, leading to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network”
Induced atmospheric vibration sounds a bit weird since HV lines should be made to withstand that.
Even weirder is that the EU Council president already says its not related to a cyberattack (at this point) while both the Portogues and Spain Gird Operators say they didn’t find the root cause for the issue yet.

I had a classmate in school who watched a tv show with an apocalyptic scenario where all electricity stopped working because of a similar reason. He said he was considering how to react to it if it ever truly happened. He must be freaking out right now, going to stock up on supplies before it reaches our country.

I see climate change is starting to bite us in the ass, if it was extreme temperature variations.

# “rare atmospheric phenomenon” = Russian terrorists again.

Let’s thank the fossil fuel bros for this.
