There's a map of realtime load flow here: https://gridradar.net/en/wide-area-monitoring-system (currently shows Spain and Portugal as 'offline')


The best source for data seems to be the European grid operator themselves: https://transparency.entsoe.eu/dashboard/show

Spain's demand: https://transparency.entsoe.eu/load-domain/r2/totalLoadR2/sh...

Spain's generation: https://transparency.entsoe.eu/generation/r2/actualGeneratio...

Spain's import/export with France: https://transparency.entsoe.eu/transmission-domain/physicalF...

The filters can be used to see similar data for Portugal


Interesting that the recovery (edit: of load graph) is going at relatively steady 600 MW/hour, it will be a while if the pace continues the same way.


Almost certainly being coordinated at that rate by adding one plant at a time, then a load region, then checking stability is holding, and so on.


Are you sure "offline" means that? Romania looks offline and when I checked their CNN they were reporting live from Spain about the blackout without mentioning Romania.

The map seems to be based on monitoring stations in the different locations, so yes - it's also possible that a station is offline for other reasons (maintenance, etc).


They were probably put offline as the network is rebalanced. That just means they (Romania) don’t contribute to the network.


Our government said we're fine with our local generation and are even exporting 200 MW (possibly to our eastern neighbors?).

I definitely had no problems with electricity all of today (on the eastern side). And there was nothing in the news about local outages either.

Funny enough, there were news before the Easter holidays that they're preparing for extremely reduced demand by shutting down facilities.


10 mins ago Malaga was online, now it's offline. It doesn't look promising


Might just be lag?

In any case, if I recall correctly from a Youtube video I can't find (it was either Wendover or Real Engineering), if the grid is fully down, it takes quite a lot of effort and time to bring it back online because it has to be done in small steps to avoid over/under loading/using.


It was Practical Engineering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOSnQM1Zu4w

Very good video. Very good channel.


Idk, it might be updated with some lag


Romania seems offline as well now?


now mannheim shows offline
