Portugal to Appeal to EU Commission to Pressure France Over Power Supplies

Portugal will appeal to the European Commission with an aim to put pressure on France over its insufficient energy supplies to Spain, due to which the country experienced a large-scale blackout in April, media reported on Sunday, citing Portuguese Energy Minister Maria da Graca Carvalho.

The delays in power supplies reportedly left the Iberian peninsula vulnerable.

In Carvalho's opinion, insufficient connection of the French and Spanish energy systems does not let Portugal enter the European energy market, the paper said. 

A large-scale power outage occurred on April 28 across almost the entire territory of Spain at 12:30 (10:30 GMT). The failure also affected Portugal, France and Andorra.

  1. Portugal exige a la CE que presione a Francia por el suministro eléctrico

    Francia no suministra suficiente electricidad a España, lo que provocó cortes masivos en abril, informa el Financial Times (FT) citando a la ministra de Energía portuguesa, Maria da Graca Carvalho. En sus palabras, el país ibérico recurrirá a la Comisión Europea (CE) para presionar a Francia.

    "Se trata de una cuestión europea, no de una cuestión entre tres países", declara.

    Según Carvalho, la insuficiente interconexión de las redes eléctricas francesa y española impide a Portugal entrar en el mercado de energía de la UE.
