Power outage in Spain, Portugal and other countries of southern Europe

[Ellipse]

Conclusions
There were natural anomalies that could cause problems in the networks themselves.
The blackout was prepared at such a time that it could be easily "explained" as a system failure.
This suggests that some forces knew that a window of vulnerability would appear.

Looks like whatever the explanation for the outage ends up being, a large part of this story is going to be about over reliance on renewables. Grids become vulnerable due to the fine margins and restarting becomes more difficult.

If this was the cause, and since it was mostly Spain (Portugal being a knock-on effect), maybe it has something to do with the Spanish govts. attitude to both Israel and Ukraine.

So a combination? They did know about the natural window of vulnerability, they exploited it by some kind of Haarp related technologie. It was amplified by the fragility of the grid due to reliance on renewables and so... boom. Punished.

i.e. natural phenomenon exploited to generate fear and so... saoul energy release?

USVh" is an abbreviation for "microsieverts per hour" (µSv/h). A microsievert (µSv) is a unit for measuring the equivalent dose of ionizing radiation, and "h" stands for hour, so USVh is the radiation dose rate in microsieverts per hour. This is a unit that shows how quickly the body is exposed to radiation.
How much is normal USV per hour?
The maximum permissible radiation dose for humans is 1000 µSv per year. However, this dose does not include the natural radiation background. Adding the average radiation background, we get 1500-2000 µSv per year. The natural radiation background usually ranges from 0.05 to 0.10 µSv per hour.

Spain has always been a testing ground, starting with the Civil War, where the Germans, Italians, and others tested their bombs, their wartime aircraft, etc. During the pandemic, Spain was a laboratory. Sold out to large pharmaceutical multinationals. I think what happened yesterday was, in part, a test. Of course, other factors came into play: the overload of AI use. And the sun and the rays, and all that. But in my humble opinion, what happened yesterday has a false flag connotation and, above all, has a connotation related to money. To banks. To the entire banking system. Anything related to food, to survival. And as with Covid, where many people's eyes were opened, perhaps what happened yesterday will have opened the eyes of many of those who were so proud to pay with their mobile phones, ojala!

But ultimately, what matters is what we experience and how we experience it. Am I afraid? Am I mentally, physically, and emotionally prepared for what's coming? What is my attitude toward what happened yesterday? These are good questions because it's a test.

It's normal to be afraid. It's normal to feel insecure. Let's pray. Let's look around. For me, who is super curious, I look, and by looking, I live. It's a great, super interesting play.

I'm glad, @Laurs , that everything went well for you. Most of these experiences, (but the PTB ignores this), bring us comfort, like a new perspective on reality, like a breath of fresh air.

OK so on the left, radioactivity measured at 285 µSV/hour when the normal dose is 1000 µSv/year.

On the right, the photo show 4622 Volt/meter. It's effectively very high. Usual value is more something like 20 Volt/meter.

Abnormal for sure if he did not put the device in a microwave oven or something like that.

That reminds me of something. On Sundays, I always meet a friend, and we have coffee together. Last Sunday, the day before yesterday, we both felt something in the air that wasn't normal. There was a kind of slowness to everything, as if we were in a cloud; the sky was heavy, even our balance was a little affected, our physical balance, I mean. There were very few people in the streets, too, and as I said, a kind of silence all around us. I said to my friend, "It's like the calm before the storm," without imagining anything. And yes, we had the storm! And what a storm!

It's important to see these signs; it means that some of our antennae are working.

On a sidenote, there is a book, several times positively mentioned on the forum: Arthur Firstenberg, "The Invisible Rainbow, A History of Electricity and Life" that might explain, one of the reasons, why people get calm again, start to physically relax, no haste, when there is less or no electricity.

Its a scientifically well written research on widely ignored effects of electricity and EMF on humans, plants and animals. Here is a review from the authors website.

I remember that effect when I didn’t have electricity for 4 days in 2011 after a tornado that killed 169 people in my county alone. I was calmer than I had been in years and had no trouble adapting to the situation. The whole atmosphere felt different, like being in the forest.

At the metro in Madrid yesterday. Suddenly the metro stop. They guy is saying no electricity in Spain, Portugal and France. Be calm et when leaving the metro, just walk in front of the machine. Ah, he also named two mobiles companies that were the only ones that were working. One of them, Vodafone.

On Windy there's no special alert:

since it was mostly Spain (Portugal being a knock-on effect), maybe it has something to do with the Spanish govts. attitude to both Israel and Ukraine.

Browbeating Spain and handing it it a black eye, or blackout as blackmail? One will need to follow the news and see if they change their stance on Israel and Ukraine.

Alternatively, is Spain like the canary in a coal mine, not because of the Canary Islands, but considering that the Spanish Civil War preceded more continental upheaval? Time will show.

On a practical level and given the duration of the energy cut, fish might be sold at a discount today. If worse thousands of tons of food might be ready for the dumpsters.

My daughter is in Madrid visiting her friend. Got caught in middle of Madrid with all public transport shut down. It took her two hours by foot to the place where she's staying. Fortunately she had some cash with her and was able to buy candles, matches and extra water and only store where she found candles was near her friend's flat, owned by Chinese. She has returned in the afternoon and stayed at home. I've spoke with her this morning and she said that was really surreal experience especially during the night because police was cruising through the streets in patrol car and informed citizens to stay at home thru PA speaker. Helicopter was flying during the night over neighborhood with search lights on. She should return to Zagreb late tomorrow flying from Málaga, but it's still unclear whether or not her flight is on schedule plus she has to go to Málaga on the train. She took this picture yesterday from Madrid where you can see people listening to the news on old fashioned battery powered radio.
Plus we had too couple of minutes power outage here in Zagreb on the same day although in the morning hours.

SO approach and analyses seems correct and expected

 

[Jo Bugman]

It's fortunate it didn't happen during winter and I would expect that these situations will become the norm in the west. Random power outages for hours or days are already common in most 'underdeveloped' countries (aka most of the world). It seems like Europe is joining the list too, if this wasn't sabotage from our favorite spook agencies.

What surprised me the most today was the people.

The city without active traffic lights and people calmly giving way politely and the flow was completely normal.

In supermarkets that had their own generators, shopping was possible without any problems. There was no rudeness or haste.

And everyone knew that no one is to blame, only the brainless people who rule us all.

Very incredible.

No electricity in Spain, Alicante from 12h30 til 23h20. During the day I experienced people heading for shopping, not knowing how long it would last. People at work were worried about not being able to contact kids. Around 15h00 people were queuing at petrol station and bloking roads. It wasn't creasy but people were concerned.
I had a medical appointment which we couldn't confirm, so I went and they told me that because of computer black out, nothing could be done.
That is very concerning for the future.
Back at the house, it was lovely to hear kids playing in the streets which is not something usual here anymore.

This is a comment from a guy from fb. The text was in German and I translated it with deepl. I hope this translation works because I do not have enough technical knowledge to judge about it. The german version I add as a pdf.

"If you want a technical explanation of the mega blackout - Noah Jakob Rettberg
"What the hell is going on in Spain?"
At around half past eleven today, there was an almost nationwide blackout in Spain and Portugal.
Small parts of southern France were probably also affected for a short time, but power was restored fairly quickly
The Portuguese grid operator has so far cited weather-related oscillations in power lines as the probable cause, which caused the power grid to collapse.
The Spanish electricity supply was in a very fragile state at the time of the load shedding: 70% of the electricity came from generators that do not have grid-synchronized flywheels.
Grid-synchronized flywheels refer to turbines in nuclear, coal, gas or hydroelectric power plants that drive the generators of these power plants.
The speed of these turbines is synchronized with the frequency of the power grid.
The grid frequency is therefore linked to the rotational energy of the turbines.
If the frequency drops, this means that the load on the grid exceeds the output of the connected power plants.
In this case, the rotational energy of the turbines is converted into electricity, which supports the grid.
The valves on the turbines of the power plants respond by opening further to stabilize the grid.
The opposite case also exists: in this case, excess power on the grid is converted into rotational energy, whereupon the valves on the turbines close to adapt to the new load.
Although the rotational energy of the turbines is not large compared to the power consumption on the grid, it is sufficient to support excessive load or to absorb excess power until the valves have time to react.
This principle of grid-synchronized rotating flywheels has been the basis of our electricity grids for over 100 years and ensures that as much electricity is produced every second as is consumed.
For two decades now, we have been adding massive amounts of electricity generators in Europe that do not have grid-synchronized turbines, but instead produce direct current that is converted into alternating current using inverters:
Wind and solar power.
Although these inverters can generate very convincing alternating current, they cannot replace the function of the grid-synchronous flywheels.
The more wind and solar energy there is on the grid, the fewer grid-synchronized turbines of conventional power plants there are.
The fewer grid-synchronous turbines there are, the less flywheel mass is available as a buffer to absorb instantaneous load fluctuations.
If there are not enough buffers, even small fluctuations can quickly cause the grid frequency to deviate too much from the ideal value of 50 Hz.
Consumers and producers alike react to this by disconnecting from the grid to protect themselves, which can cause a cascading breakdown.
It is not yet clear what actually caused the “boat to capsize” in Spain.
However, we do know that the grid in Spain was in a very volatile state at the time of the collapse."

Back at the house, it was lovely to hear kids playing in the streets which is not something usual here anymore.

I think the children made the most of the power outage. This is what my 10-year-old niece wrote on a blackboard I have at home, which made me feel terrible:

“The power was out all day today, and I really liked it because we spent the whole day without screens, and my uncle Josué made a puzzle with me and my mom, who didn't have to work, and it made me very happy.”
