AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoSkywatching in Iceland: Iceland is in the spotlight for Wednesday, Aug. 12, when the total solar eclipse’s narrow path brings brief totality to western Iceland and Reykjavík’s first big-city immersion since 1433, with authorities urging careful viewing and certified eye protection during every partial phase. Perseids + eclipse combo: The Perseid meteor shower peaks the same night, and in the eclipse corridor viewers may even catch shooting stars during the short twilight of totality. Power-grid prep: Across Europe, transmission operators are bracing for a predictable solar generation dip tied to the eclipse, with planners expecting up to a 9.7 GW drop under clear skies. Climate backdrop: New reporting highlights Western Europe’s record-hot June–July, with drought and wildfires still shaping travel and conditions. Whaling protest fallout: Iceland detained an antiwhaling protest ship (M/V Bandero) and ordered deportations after it interfered with Hvalur hf.’s hunt.
