Days after the blackout that affected the Iberian Peninsula, a series of audits have been announced in Portugal to clarify what were the causes of this fall in the electricity grid. The Portuguese Ministry of Infrastructure has claimed these transport audits, aviation and communications, although the government of the neighboring country holds the Spanish system for what happened.

These reports are claimed to institutions that “did not respond as expected.” Some of the infrastructure, such as the Lisbon airport, which did not respond with the effectiveness of the rest of airports, still drags problems. It has not been the only field that failed, so did the communication system for emergency cases, a situation that has generated doubts in the neighboring country of how it would have reacted in the case of a greater emergency.
For all this, the Portuguese government has requested that within 20 days an independent report is presented that clarify the responsibilities. In addition, he has taken the opportunity to give some recommendations in case a similar emergency is reproduced.
Portuguese private sector losses
Also from the private sector of the neighboring country, an estimate of the losses caused by Le Busy has begun. The Portugal Entrepreneurs Association explained the difficulty of the process and ensures that until next Monday they will not be able to have an estimate.
The confederations of various productive sectors of Portugal, such as industry and agriculture, have not reported the Portuguese government “great damages” or “nothing significant” preliminary after the blackout recorded on Monday in the country. However, hoteliers are considered especially affected by the closure, but above all for the loss of merchandise and have asked the government.
