Spain is actually one of the countries with the most solar power generation in the EU
It's also the country with the highest solar power potential

Some months ago in Spain the price of solar energy became negative and minutes later there was a blackout.
Some people like gred say is because too much solar energy is a problem.
In my, uneducated, opinion it was a market failure.
yes, I live in Spain. Still don't get the cryptic comment, though, are you claiming Spain will get more blackouts because the EU increases solar energy? that the EU will get the blackouts? that solar energy causes blackouts?
Solar, and renewables in general, are very unstable. You need nuclear or fossil to stabilize the grid.

I'm pro-solar, but by EU politicians sugar-coating it things are getting out of control. Worst part, it seems there were warnings for months. But since it was raised by the opposition they were ignored.
See sibling comment. Seguimos siendo un país de gitanos que no se ha adaptado a las necesidades infraestructurales, organizacionales, legales o sociales de las renovables. I'm bullish on solar in the long-term, but I expect further problems here (including outages) in the short- to mid-term. I'd love to be wrong on this, though.
BTW, with a name like "lentil_soup" how could you not live in Spain? ;-)
