EDP (Energias de Portugal) has been notified by Spain’s National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) of the opening of proceedings relating to the Soto de Ribera thermal power plant, in connection with the blackout, an official company source told Lusa.
However, EDP has denied any link to the incident on 28 April, stressing that ‘this plant was not even scheduled to be operating at the time of the blackout’.
