Blackout risk ‘made worse by net zero’, some experts claim

  • Tens of millions experienced blackouts across Spain and Portugal, disrupting transport and communication systems, as reported by Reuters.
  • The International Energy Agency warned that instability in renewable energy sources could increase risks of blackouts, as noted in a confidential paper circulated to world leaders.
  • A rapid loss of power at around 15GW led to the outages, which some sources suggest may be linked to a solar power failure, according to Bloomberg.
  • Experts highlighted that a renewable-heavy grid lacks the inertia needed to absorb shocks, making it less resilient to outages, explained energy consultant Kathryn Porter.
