What we haven't seen is the following:

1. A map of power stations in Spain/Portugal and their output.

2. A map of power consumption set alongside the power station map.

3. Ditto in respect of "green generation" and whether the wind was blowing.

4. A map of the interconnect(s) with France and their capacity.

5. A detailed scientific description of the oscillation phenomenon said to have occurred

I can quite see in my head how an extra-ordinary physical event could trip the interconnect (with possible consequences for France) because the management systems for normalising mains frequencies couldn't cope with the oscillations.

As to net zero, if it turns out that the wind wasn't blowing but there is a disproportionate reliance on wind for power in Spain, and if Portugal has been lazy in its power generation strategy, then OB's suggestion may have merit.

Whatever the cause, the UK is vulnerable, none-the least because of Miliband and our dependence on the Norwegian interconnect which Russia will evenrtually cut.
