Spain denied the power grid ‘experiment’, as the giant blackout | world News
The Spain government on Wednesday denied a press report that a “experiment” on the National Power Grid did a huge blackout, which had crippled the Iberian peninsula a month ago.On April 28, outage cut telecommunications, transport stopped and submerged cities in the darkness in Spain and Portugal.Conservative British daily newspaper The Telegraph on Friday, citing anonymous sources in Brussels, stated that the Spanish officials were “doing an experiment before the system of the system, checking how far they can push up the renewal on the renewal of the nuclear reactors from 2027 in the preparation of the run-outs of Spain.“It seems that the government has pushed it carelessly before making necessary investments in the 21st century smart grid, which is capable of handling it.”When asked about the report in Parliament, Ecological Infection Minister Sarah Essen said: “This is wrong, completely wrong, that the government used any kind of use on the grid before the outage.”He said, “The reason for blackout is irresponsible to blame under investigation. And claiming is equally irresponsible that the government was experimenting.”Spain’s power operator Ri, Head of Beatries Kordor, also said the “completely wrong” report in an interview with Spanish daily newspaper La Wangardia published on Wednesday.“On 28 April” there was no more renewable energy “, nor short circuit, overload or cyber attack on the grid, he said, dismissing many widely operated principles.Instead he said that it seems that “traditional” energy such as gas, atomic and hydro plants “failed to properly regulate the voltage on the day of the outage.He did not say if it plays a direct role in blackout.
