Spain's Power Outage: One Month Later, Questions Remain

One month after Spain's major power outage, questions remain about the causes and the response from authorities. The blackout, which plunged parts of the country into darkness, affected Badajoz, Seville, and Granada. Energy experts are critical of Red Eléctrica's handling of the situation, citing a lack of preparation and a slow reaction to overvoltage events. "Red Eléctrica made a poor plan that day," says one energy sector source. The report illustrates the energy mix at the time, showing a high reliance on solar and wind power, alongside a low contribution from conventional sources. The augmented reality visualization helps to understand the energy distribution and the impact of the outage. While the official investigation is ongoing, the incident highlights the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources into the national grid and the need for robust contingency plans.
