Spain Blackout: Grid Operator, Firms Blamed | JQJO

Spain's government attributes a major April blackout affecting Spain and Portugal to the national grid operator, Red Eléctrica, and private power generators. A government report states Red Eléctrica miscalculated power capacity, failing to activate a thermal plant. Private generators also failed to regulate voltage, contributing to the outage. The government rejects claims that renewable energy caused the widespread disruption, while the opposition criticizes the government's energy policies.
