Madrid: The Spain government on Sunday said that on April 28, “several more days” was required to work due to its nationwide blackout, which also influenced Portugal and parts of South -West France.
Environment Minister Sarah Aagesen told the El Paes newspaper that “all hypothesis” was being seen, including a possible cyber attacks. He said that the discrepancy may probably be from the solar panels installed in the south -east Spain, which is unbalanced to the grid, as the network operator Red Electric has already suggested.
“We know that those establishments stopped working in the system,” he said. But she said: “It may be too early to talk about solar panels (as causes)” and said that it was “irresponsible and simple” to pointing the finger on renewable energy sources.
Blackout cut off electricity in all Spain, knocked on mobile phones and internet connections, paralyzed the rail network and implicated hundreds of people in lifts.
Experts have questioned whether the essential balance between supply and demand in the power grid was disrupted, possibly through sudden ups and downs from air or solar sources.
Aagesen said that Spain has prolonged renewable items in its energy mixture and exempted the principle that “a large amount of renewable energy” shocked the grid.
He said that high solar energy was earlier with production and low demand, and the system was “acted very well”.
“Renewable energy allows Spain to achieve a great deal of energy freedom in the geographically weak world,” he said.
