The massive power outage that wreaked havoc in Europe is being blamed on a pair of likely solar plant breakdowns in southwest Spain.Red Eléctrica said it identified two power generation loss incidents in southwest Spain likely involving solar plants that caused instability in the Spanish power grid and contributed to a breakdown of its interconnection to France.Emergency workers in Spain said they had rescued some 35,000 passengers on Monday who were stranded along railways and in underground tunnels. The economic cost of Monday’s blackout across the Iberian Peninsula could range between $2.5 billion to more than $5 billion, it cited investment bank RBC as saying. Do you think that power outages should not be an issue in developed nations ?
