  Spanish authorities were conducting an experiment before the system crashed. This experiment probed how far they could push reliance on renewables in preparation for Spain's rushed phase-out of nuclear reactors from 2027.
  
  Diana Morant, Minister of Science and Innovation, said the reports of an experiment prior to the crash was a hoax. María Jesús Montero, also denied the reports of the experiment and attributed this information to a business interest group.
