Blackout started with losses of generation in Andalusian cities, Spanish government informs

The search for definitive answers and explanations over April 28's mass power outage across the Iberian Peninsula goes on. 

The third vice-president of the Spanish government, Sara Aagesen, informed on Wednesday in the Congress of Deputies that the data analyzed so far shows that the blackout began with losses of generation in Granada, Badajoz, and Seville.

Authorities also rule out that the failure was a problem of coverage, reserve, or size of the networks.

Aagesen added that the Spanish executive and the organizations involved in the investigation will continue to work "rigorously" and based in "truth," not making "hypotheses."

These statements were made in response to a question from conservative People's Party spokesperson Borja Sémper, who accused the Spanish government of using "disinformation" and changing the story to avoid responsibility.

In response, the vice president accused the opposition of feeding hypotheses before knowing the truth, while the Spanish government "works tirelessly" to identify the causes of the blackout.

The issue is one "of extreme complexity" that requires "rigor," she added.
