Reminding that Türkiye is also connected to Europe's electricity grid, Bayraktar said that the blackouts did not have a direct impact on Türkiye, but that the situation was being closely monitored.
Giving information on the issue at the cabinet meeting, Bayraktar stated, “We do not have any problems, but it is something that can affect us. Fortunately, we are at the very edge.” Pointing out that there has not yet been a clear explanation from European countries regarding the cause of the blackouts, Bayraktar added that various allegations have been put forward regarding the source of the incident.
“Wind and solar production could not be managed” claim
Drawing attention to the assessment that Spain was at the center of the blackout, Bayraktar noted, “It is also said that they could not manage the overproduction of wind and solar when the demand was not high. In France, it is stated that the interconnection system was disabled by protecting itself. There has been a big problem, we are talking about a very large-scale event,”
Energy returns to normal in Europe
In Portugal, Antonio Leitao, the Minister responsible for the Prime Minister's Office, announced that the electricity supply has returned to normal and that there were no security problems during the night hours of the blackouts.
In Spain, the electricity distribution company Red Electrica Espanola announced that 99.95% of the country's energy needs were met as of 07.00 in the morning, and the total production was 25,794 megawatts.
