No. 10 rejects allegations that renewable power caused energy cuts in Spain
Downing Street rejected suggestions that relying on renewable power was behind the power outage in Spain and Portugal, after Kimi Badnosh said it was likely to be the cause.
A spokesman for No. 10 rejected “unfounded claims and speculation” after the Conservative Party leader said that Safi scratch plans in the UK could lead to power outages.
Mrs. Badnoush said she heard “different theories” about what happened in Spain and Portugal.
“Some have said it is Internet terrorism, but the most likely issue is the network – that when you have an electricity supply that depends on renewable power sources, you need a lot of battery storage.
Often, what we see is that renewable energy sources work before storage facilities, which means that when you have you in one way or another, you end up with the power outage.
“This is one of the reasons that make me say that Safar’s plans that have not been thought about.
“We are off forward without having the appropriate infrastructure in its place and doing things that may actually end with the country’s move or the creation of power outages.”
She canceled her party’s commitment to the zero network by 2050 at a turn last month, saying it would be impossible to reach.
A spokesman for No. 10 said it was too early to confirm the cause of the accident and defended the government’s energy transmission plans.
He said: “With regard to the demands of relying on the net zero energy that left the countries that affected energy discounts, these are baseless claims, and speculation at this stage.”

He added that the shift to clean energy provides security and supplies of electricity that fossil fuels cannot provide.
“The national energy system operator has enabled us to implement flexibility functions through electricity and gas systems, and we will continue to work with the industry and the organizers to improve and maintain the infrastructure of old, new and future energy,” he said.
Energy Minister Ed Miliband warned earlier than “jumping to conclusions about what happened” and said he was in contact with the UK National Energy System operator (NESO) after the power outage in Spain and Portugal.

The state’s communications group on the Arctic Island said on Tuesday that the remote areas that have suffered from problems after the access to satellites in Spain were distant.

“Because of a mistake about 3000 km (1900 miles),” a spokesman for Tusas told Reuters.
In 2023, Tusass chose the Maspalomas terrestrial station on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria off the western coast of Africa as a hub for the new satellite network that provides a critical life artery for some of the most isolated societies in Greenland.
