The president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, again reaffirmed the central role of the Kingdom of Morocco in the rapid recovery of the current in certain regions of Spain, following the giant electrical failure occurred on April 28 in the country.
“It was the combined cycle power plants and interconnections with France and Morocco, as well as the hydroelectric dams that allowed rapid recovery of electricity in the first moments,” the president of the Spanish executive said on Wednesday before the Congress of Deputies.
According to the Madrid authorities, the equivalent of 60% of the electricity consumption of Spain, or 15 gigawatts, disappeared in the space of five seconds during the failure, a phenomenon qualified as “unpublished” by the executive. In its report of events, the manager of the Spanish electricity network (REE) said that he had identified as possible the original of this collapse two separate incidents in a second and a half intervals, one of which was able to assign a solar production site in the southwest of Spain.
