The cause of a large power outage in the European Union was called Portuguese.
The shutdown of light, which primarily affected Spain and Portugal, was caused by “failure in the Spanish power source associated with a rare atmospheric phenomenon.” It was in the Spanish territory that “abnormal vibrations” took place on the high -tension line. This was announced by the Portuguese operator Ren Power Grid, reports CNN Portugal.
There were abnormal fluctuations on the lines of very high voltage (400 kV) from the extremal fluctuations in the temperature in Spain … These fluctuations caused synchronization disturbances between electric systems, which led to consistent disorders in the European network, Portuguese energy noted.
Experts said that the full recovery of the network may take a week. This is due to the complexity of the phenomenon and the need to balance the supply of electricity at the international level.
After communicating with the leaders of Spain and Portugal, the Chairman of the European Council Anthony, the Council denied rumors about cyberrataka and said that there was no confirmation.
We recall that on April 28 in Portugal, Spain and Andori there was a large disconnection of electricity. The light also disappeared in some parts of France and Belgium.
In particular, traffic lights do not work in Portugal and Spain, and the metro and railwayman stopped. The Spanish government created a crisis department, which included Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
To restore the power source in Spain, it may take from six to 10 hours. And there is no time for the energy supply of Portugal.
