Spain Blackout Blame Game Heats Up as Iberdrola Points to Grid
Spain's grid operator and the country's largest utility took to public finger-wagging over their roles during the country's biggest-ever blackout.
'We've been singled out from the first moment,' the chief of Iberdrola's Spanish unit, Mario Ruiz-Tagle, said at an event in Madrid, when asked if power generators were being blamed for the April 28 outage. He added that Red Electrica had been recording excess voltage in the days leading up to the debacle, and that managing the network's stability is a responsibility of the grid operator.
