Better hurry up before the Cruzacampo goes cold SH!

Pretty damn impressive to take out power in 3 different countries.

Hotel bars seem to be running still, as some have back up generators.

All we can do is drink cold beers..

I do wonder if tonight's grid management from octopus is in connection to this ..

We are getting our car charging (and house usage) half price tonight

Wonder if there is excess from the interconnectors as Spain is offline
