Spain Blackout Cause Still Unclear; ENTSO-E Report Due Friday

The cause of the recent blackout in Spain remains unclear, as the search for responsible parties has yielded no specific results. The ENTSO-E expert report, due this Friday, may shed light on the issue. Marina Serrano, president of AELEC, has already suggested that the power outage was due to inadequate voltage control in the national grid.

Red Eléctrica, the company tasked with maintaining Spain's power grid, was responsible for ensuring voltage control. However, the ENTSO-E expert report, set to be published this Friday, has not yet identified any specific entity or individual responsible for the operation of the power grid during the blackout. The report aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the incident and its causes.

The blackout in Spain has raised questions about the management of the power grid. While Red Eléctrica was responsible for voltage control, the final report by ENTSO-E's panel of experts will determine the exact cause and any responsible parties. The findings, to be released this Friday, are eagerly awaited by both industry stakeholders and the public.
