Exactly as I said after the blackout: voltage regulation was issue, not a lack of spinning inertia, as so many quickly speculated (or asserted). It was an off peak spring day, plenty of cheap solar available, and the grid operator cut it too close, failed to commit sufficient voltage regulation.🔌💡
Iberian blackout: not inertia, but lack of procurement of voltage regulation (reactive power absorption) by TSO to blame for spreading power outage, according to first government report. Plausible explanation for the scale of the incident, less for the root cause.

Miscalculation by Spanish power grid operator REE led to massive blackout, report finds
Spain's power grid operator REE miscalculated its power capacity needs on the day that a surge in voltage caused a massive blackout across the Iberian peninsula in April, a government investigation has concluded.
