Normal income. At 06.00 hours, 99.95% Peninsula Electric Requirement has already been recoveredWith a total of 21,265 MW, according to Electric red. The process of turning light refers to the “gradual energy of the transport network as generation groups combine,” the Energy Manager explained in a message on social networks.
The traffic network has recovered 100% of the 680 sub -power stations. The Red Electrica announced it at 06.46 at 06.49 at 06.49, Minister of Environment Change Sarah Aksen. In addition, all Parts of the high voltage network of Spain are already interconnected.
It all started in 12.32. April 28, 2025 (which has already been left to the story) Light went through Spain. Everyone thought this was his volume, his neighborhood, perhaps a matter of his city; But no, this is the common fall of power supply, which has left the entire country without light.
Before a second, the The red electric map model The real need is 25,184 MW and 25,140. At the time, renewable energies (air, hydraulic solar, solar heat, renewable heat, coordinated cycle, coagenration and waste, turbulence and pumping) 26.203 MW, 5,954 cannot be reviewed.
Complete 0 and all without light
The electric red system is marked in 12.32 A complete 0 energy required. An event described as “completely exceptional” electric operators.
Now we know Losing 16 gigawat energy at that timeThat is, 60%of the power demand at that time. It happened in 5 seconds. It seems very short, but for the electrical system, it continues to change the enormous speed, a world for 5 seconds. So it is: That “missing” led to the fall of the entire network.
What happened, as the technicians saw a few hours later, there was a huge imbalance between the supply and the need for electricity. The The offer is greatly exceeded And the system collapsed.
The interruption affected all the continental and Portugal Spain. The islands were saved, In addition to the Balleric Islands, Suita and MelillaIts electrical systems are isolated (usually bad, but for the benefit of this time). Some border areas of southern France also noticed darkness.
At the time of blackout, in that 12.32, the Luminous energy is considered 58% of the total energy mixture It fed the network. That is, at that time the lighting of the Peninsula Spain gave more than half of the light (this system chooses the cheapest source, and this Monday most of the country is the most sunny day).
Another 13% came from the wind. They were 71% mixed between them. Total ended 12% of the nuclear power and 3.8% of the integrated cycle (Centers that burn gas to produce electricity).
Recovery started in France and Morocco
Half an hour later, at 1:00 pm. According to Red Electric, tension began to re -implement in some parts of Spain. Was Parts of Peninsula edges, North, near France, from south to Portugal and Morocco.
Four centers Spanish nuclear power has already been turned off. Almaras II, Ask I-II and Wandells II acted as they need: as far as security is concerned, the external food is not automatically disconnected. The report of the emergency premature situation was contacted by the Central Institutions to the Nuclear Power Protection Council.
At 13.33, the rebooting of power plants Bask Country, Catalonia, Calisia and Andalusia’s First Current Income. Of course, electric red technicians wanted to learn that BlackBerry levels had caused, but preferably the recovery of light on the electrical map. In 13.35, 10,480 MW was already created.
Red Electric Director Edwardo Breeto was 15.00 We have to wait for six to ten hours. Restart “Since the generation groups are reunited, the transfer network must be gradually reviewed.” It was time for that.
The Spanish Electricity Network began to recover. As the map shows Thanks for the energy from France and MoroccoThat Monday was the basis, though it was normal. In the case of French, only 3,000 MW (Paris don’t want to be more) and 1,400 MW in Morocco.
Thus, the border connections helped to spread the tension for the Bask country, Catalonia, Calisia and Andalusia. Meanwhile, hospitals, companies and businesses were thrown Diesel Fed Generators.
Thanks for the combined hydration and rotation
But the awareness of the speedy energy mixture is re -activated from the hand of the sources. They are renewable or not atom, but basically, water power plants and some integrated cycle. Both proved one of their virtues: they Can start in autonomous mode To do it quickly.
On the other hand, the nuclear power takes 12 hours and light plants, because until the sun returns. Since Spain is interconnected with other countries, it has arrived Promotes the construction of dozens of integrated cycle plants. They do not always work, and only when others cannot meet the need, because their purpose is to guarantee the energy supply without external help. They have been fulfilled.
The system recovered from this classic energy and light sources from the hand, from neighboring countries. At first they were Energy Islands: in the Bask lands, others in Catalonia, in Salamanka’s Hulwa … tension was extended, so that the islands grew until they began to interconnect. At 21.00, Red Electrica can declare no islands. Despite the lakes, the penalty electricity was nervous and attached.
