The whole situation with the power failure in Spain and Portugal is gradually becoming clearer. It is a series of failures. The first and most serious impact is the interruption of the connection with France. This was stated by energy expert Ivan Hinovski in the program “Face to Face“ on bTV, quoted by novini.bg.
Electricity production must be equal to consumption, otherwise an imbalance occurs. The first to turn off when there is a change in purity are the RES. Cascade shutdowns begin and megawatts drop, he explained.
Hinovsky dismissed the possibility that a severe weather event was the main cause of the accident.
I am pleased that this happened in order to raise a number of questions for our energy professionals. We are currently building, thank God, in the right direction. In Spain, this is happening because the country boasted that it had closed all thermal power plants. We must not reduce the torque in our energy system. This is very important for our energy security, the energy expert warned.
Hinovsky also said that after that, recovery becomes very difficult and an apocalypse in the energy sector occurs.
In Germany and Belgium, this cannot happen because they have not shut down the thermal power plants. We should not in any case write off thermal power plants, they are our lifeline, he explained.
According to him, the reactors for the “Belene“ NPP have the potential to be included in a new energy project. This is an important geopolitical project.
