'Extreme temperature variations in Spain' contributed to outage - Portuguese grid officials
published at 22:10
We have a bit more for you now from the Portuguese energy company REN (Rede Eletrica Nacional).
It says that "due to extreme temperature variations in the interior or Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines (400 KV), a phenomenon known as 'induced atmospheric vibration'".
"These oscillations caused synchronisation failures between the electrical systems, leading to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network."
As we said in our last post, Spain is yet to respond to these claims.
