Except that's not true: an auto shutdown only occurs at 47.5 Hz, at least in Germany, some countries have the limit even lower: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unterfrequenz

Thanks for the clarification. However the idea behind this hypothesis is that the inertia stored in physical generators is mostly responsible for keeping the grid stable and as less inertia exists in the grid the risk of this goes up.

Is that a reliable source? The guy started blaming this on renewables hours ago even though no one seems to know exactly what happened.

The guy is an American political journalist, his opinions here have exactly zero value to me.

Sponsored by the fossil fuels industry... Also, Texans are not in a good position to lecture others about power network stability :-D

The official investigation is not over yet, but the head of the Spanish power network has already said that this cannot be related to renewables: https://www.lavanguardia.com/vida/20250430/10632617/beatriz-...
