IEC TC57 WG17 has held its kick-off meeting to develop a new document describing how IEC 61850 can be used for monitoring and control of electrical and engineering systems in data centres.
ENTSO-E's 472-page final report on the April 28, 2025 blackout in Spain and Portugal identifies systemic failures in voltage control, protection settings, and distributed generation visibility — not a single technology — as the root causes of the largest European grid incident in over two decades.
On March 16, 2026, Cuba experienced its eighth major blackout in 25 months — and its second total grid collapse of March alone. The Ministry reported that no faults were detected in operating units at the time of collapse, pointing to a structural cascading failure driven by chronic generation deficit.
