In this episode, SYNI dissects the lessons from the electricity blackout in Portugal, Spain, and parts of France on April 28th. On that Monday, life was proceeding as normal for millions across the Iberian Peninsula. People filled office buildings, shopped in bustling downtown areas, drove on motorways, and carried on with daily tasks that rely on the steady, ever-present hum of electricity. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a substantial portion of the grid went down, leaving homes, businesses, and public transportation networks without power. SNYI tells you what happened, why it happened, and how we can learn from it to build a more stable and sustainable energy future. Let’s dive right in.
