Would this be relevant here? Spain is connected to the French grid, and probably also Morocco.
The entire EU runs on one synchronised grid so from that perspective a single 'province' went offline, not the grid.
- crmd 1y agoIt would be essentially the same thing as a grid black start, except that the first breaker to close has the European grid on its primary side, instead of a freshly started generator under your control. The complex process of configuring the transmission network to bring grid power to each power plant in succession is the same.

The Nordics (except half of Denmark and, uh, Iceland, Greenland etc) runs on a separate synchronized grid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Europe_Synchronous_Area#/media/File:European_electricity_grid.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Europe_Synchronous...
