“Opinion Monday is just a warning: Without a nuclear, Spain faces a huge interruption.”
The latter’s blackout on MondayAn unprecedented event that shook the Spanish electrical system, Asking many questions. Jorge Blanco, CEO of Ceiber Energy, participates in his analysis of the situation, and to explore the possible causes, the consequences and measures necessary to avoid future crises, such as expanding the nuclear power source.
Specifically in the face of these opinions, which indicates that nuclear power plants can save the disaster or at least, the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro SanchezHe said that, out of the ability to help, “it was a problem” and wanted to explain this while it appeared today.
Citizens should know that during this crisis, nuclear power plants, Away from being a solution, it was a problem Because they were outside and it was necessary to convert large amounts of energy to keep their stable nuclei. “But let’s see what the expert comments, Jorge Blanco to” Eurono “.
Unprecedented
Blanco describes the event as “a million question.” As explains, The electrical system is designed to deal with deviations The minimum power and consumption generation, But losing 60 % (That is, equivalent to 15GW) “impossible to assume” in normal circumstances. “This cannot happen, for this reason I give more residence to be an electronic attackHe said.
The first indicators indicate a continuous achievement through Telefónica, which analyzes potential attacks through the risk IP. but, Blanco emphasizes the complexity of an attack of this sizeSince it was useful simultaneously affecting many distributors and breaking the waterfall protection of electrical systems.
Details of the CEO CEBER Energy How the system works by setting up supply and demand in real time. The operators work with different energy sourcesFrom thermal to wind, and the final price is determined by the last source that enters the system. If the “infiltrator” was able to change this victory, Domino’s effect can be destroyed “to caution.
In this context, Blanco highlights the importance of protection mechanisms: “To avoid failures, electrical systems reduce energy flow if they discover serious violations, preferring to lose 15 GB of risk with a total collapse of the national energy system.”
Energy adoption and policies at stake
The situation highlights the limits Spanish energy policy. Blanco criticizes that Red Eléctrica cannot make additional investments due to the restrictions set by the Bank of England, which are left The system of weakness against increasing requirements. It also condemns that renewable energy projects, such as photovoltaic, displays other major sources such as nuclear and combined sessions.
“If we are now dependent on 60-70 % of imported energy, without reaching 80 %,” explained. Compare this situation with France, which has 54 nuclear centralization It plans to build 28 others, which will allow them to produce 120 % of their energy in the coming years. Spain, on the other hand, may dismantle Thermal plants in one monthA decision that Blanco considers and reckless.
“I hope this is a touch of attention.”
Blanco warns that Nuclear power exclusion It can lead to more frequent and long power outages. “Yesterday’s blackout is a game for children if we continue to deny nuclear energy. I hope this is a touch of attention.He said. The CEO also confirmed that the long -term panorama can be more worrying. Significantly dependent on French nuclear energy, Spain will face an increase in import prices And the lack of ability to respond to demand fluctuations.
Blanco explained that the recovery after blackout was gradually, and it was achieved thanks to the inter -delivery with neighboring countries such as Morocco and France. However, he made it clear that Spain does not depend completely on them: “We were exporting the energy at that timeThis indicates that we have a reaction capacity, but not enough to avoid the initial crisis. “
The system was overlapping, as it gave priority to close sources such as the collected, nuclear and renewable courses, in Blanco’s process compared to “lighting the houselights after electric pieces.”
A touch of attention to the future
The accident, according to Blanco, is an introduction to problems that may arise if structural measures are not taken. Among the urgent procedures, the need to make investments In energy infrastructure, energy sources diversify and reconsider the role of nuclear in the Spanish energy mix. “This can happen again, and the next time it may be worse,” Blanco’s conclusion, calling for that Addressing these issues immediately and seeing the future.
