Red Eléctrica explanations about the great blackout in Spain

Red Eléctrica has given at 14.30 the first keys to the great blackout lived in peninsular Spain, in Portugal and even in areas of France. What are the first keys?

12.32 hours

“There has been a very strong oscillation in the power flows of the networks, there has been a disconnection of the rest of the electrical system of the European system, and this disconnection has led to a collapse of the electrical system at 12.32h.”

Collapse in “all” the knots

“All communication and service replacement procedures have been activated, we have proceeded to inform all companies in the sector – for their replacement plans – to the different organizations, the government and the rest of the elements involved in the electricity sector. We are in constant coordination. These procedures consist that, once the peninsular electrical system has suffered this collapse in all the children of the network, the objective is tension in the different elements of the different elements of the network. The network, so that once the electrical installations have tension, spread this voltage by the network and that supply of supplies occurs ”.

From the border

“Voltage has spread in areas near the border with Portugal and Morocco, which had tension, was the fastest area, and both Catalonia and Euskadi, are programming tension through transport networks. Similarly, in the south, there are already some areas with tension. This is a gradual, progressive process, which will carry the feeding of the generation plants and, later, their extension through the networks.”

“Never in history”

“The replacement will be progressive in the different areas and finally, once it is repeated in all knots, we will be in a position that the supply reaches consumers. We have plans that are prepared conscientiously. It is an exceptional fact, in the history of Ree something like that had never happened, it is an absolutely exceptional incident. We are focused on replenishing the supply so that the impact on society is the least possible. We will update on the progress of the replacement process promptly, with the novelties that are being held.

Without “speculation”

“The time for replacement will depend on everything going well, that there are no problems in the process, which is complex, but the drills and experience of other similar incidents in other countries, the total recovery will be extended for several hours. We can be talking about 6-10 hours until the replacement of the last of consumers. There is no record of the cause of the incident, and we cannot enter speculations about the origin of the incident, everything will be analyzed with all levels, everything will be analyzed. detail”.
