MADRID, March 17 (Reuters) – The upcoming report by Spain’s antitrust and energy watchdog CNMC on the massive blackout that hit the Iberian Peninsula last year will not assign blame for the outage, the watchdog’s chief said on Tuesday.
Spain and Portugal’s widespread blackout on April 28 left large swathes of the two countries in the dark for up to 10 hours.
CNMC head Cani Fernandez told senators at a hearing that the report would include recommendations and conclusions, adding that the regulatory and technical mechanisms at the CNMC’s disposal were sufficient to manage the system adequately.
