After a week of this Monday The best blackout It was the rest of the Millions of Spanters without electricity supply For hours. When seven days of energy crisis have passed, the debate on reasons and responsibilities is hot The government that points to privatized power companies. Experts and operators point to a combination of technical factors and poor political decisions.
The National court It is already examining the case and focusing on Spanish Electric Management (Ree)Maximum rate Renewable energies And the role of privatization in the increasingly complex energy system.
“Electrical system collapsed”
Even though seven days have passed, there is no official version of what happened. Javier Tasse, an energy expert, explains ‘EuroNius’, “The Spanish power system collapsed because More than 60% of the energy paid for that day are renewableMainly the sun and the air ”.
These sources, though clean, are “unstable against unexpected variations.” “When the change occurred, the renewable network could not be confirmed. They were cut off for protection; a Cascade drop“. Das rejects it Renewable energy Be “worse”, but its high proportion is promoted by government policies, emphasizing that this system has been stable.
The government points to private companies
The administrator of the Point Pedro Sanchez has signed Private powerLike Ibertrola or Endesa, they accused them of not responding correctly. However, companies defend themselves. In a statement, Iberrola has promised “All plants worked according to the signs of ree”.
George BlangoCyber Energy’s CEO points out the government: “It is not possible for thousands of light -hearted investors to fall simultaneously. Incorrect sequence15 Suddenly to pay the gigawat, this is all that made it stable. “
Ree, in the meantime, Rejected the cyber attackThe hypothesis that the government is still in the table. Toss warns about what is possible ”Economic benefitsIf the “risk:” If the avoidable cyber attack is proven, the re -millionaire must accept compensation. That’s why An independent trial is urgent“. The opaque in the reasons provides distrust, in particular, as Blango points out,”We will never know what the reason for that isBut we are technically aware of how it happened: a mass discohoning. “
Ree’s privatization, where The government retains 20% of the assets because of being a majority shareholder, It is in the center of the debate. Sanchez has reunited with the debate on whether the power system is very privatized. However, Dassey disagrees: “It does not privatize the problem, but Principles that prioritize cheapest renewal products in standard sources such as nuclear power. The government has power in Ree and defines energy strategy. “In fact, after blackout, the ree increased atom and integrated cycles to confirm the renewable needle and network.
The lack of technicians in computer administration is another important thing. Blango says, “Ree operates with automated instructions and orders, but no experts have supervised, The minimum bug will bring down everything“This politicization represents the post of positions in Ree, where PSOE has been accused of being related The President was the Minister of Housing In the government of Jose Louis Rodriguez Japadero and the training, he was a judge.
How can blackout be avoided?
Tasse Propone a Energy balance: “Renewable increase is good, but it must be with high atom or hydraulic. If we continue AtomicThese blackouts often occur. “Ree says that they need to improve their protocols:” There are protections for sub -power stations, but if the operator gives wrong orders, nothing will stop them. “Both experts ask Audit And less political interference.
In the face of the future, experts are in a hurry Clear energy strategy. Das emphasizes that “nuclear power is clean and stable. The closing of the centers is a strategic error” France depends on it successfully. White lawyers “Investments in digitalization and internet security to save the network.”
The Spanish power system shows that the blackout is vulnerable, although the President’s President Petris Gorider considers it “the most flexible” in the world. The Change for renewable This requires severe technical planning, not just political results, but experts say.
When the National Court progresses in their trial, citizens are surprised to have the consequences on their price. For now, as Tasse has pointed out, “prices have never shot themselves, but Injecting more expensive resources to ensure the network The electric market is already more expensive. “
The energy is one of the basic pillars of any country, but not only the darkness of April 28 in Spain Left millions of people in the darkAlso lightened the splits of a system It requires a reformAccording to experts who consider this method. The question is whether the government and the electricity will take note of what happened or if I am afraid of “this often happens”.
