The program this Monday of The revolt He gathered entertainment and news again in a format that continues without leaving anyone indifferent. On this occasion, David Broncano He had two luxury guests. On the one hand, the actress Antonia San Juan, who contributed his usual sense of humor, and on the other, the industrial engineer Jorge Morales de Labra, One of the most visible faces these days after the unexpected blackout that left without electricity supply all over Spain, Portugal and part of southern France for several hours.

Morales, known for its clarity when explaining technical issues and for its extensive career as an energy disseminator, broke into the program with an unusual entry: sliding down the iconic program slide. This dose of humor did not prevent him from getting fully into a subject as delicate as the massive failure in the electricity supply that affected millions of people in the Iberian Peninsula. And from his technical vision, but also with a social perspective, he tried to contribute some light to what happened.

The engineer explained that the ruling caught him by working on his company and that, knowing the magnitude of the event, he immediately addressed the National Radio Studies of Spain in Prado del Rey to inform and, above all, “Reassure people.” “Sometimes, using colloquial terminology helps people not disconnect,” he said.

Today, according to Morales, the causes of the blackout still are still entirely clear. Therefore, it has insisted that it is soon to find guilty or purify responsibilities. Of course, he launched a warning that has resonated strongly. “There are usually no coincidences,” assured. And, in his opinion, behind this type of incidents can hide “many economic interests” and it is not strange that “many people try to close the embers to their sardine.”

In his speech, he explained how the European electrical system works and why it is so complex to avoid these failures when they occur chained. “The system is prepared for If an element fails, Another between automatically. It is what is called criteria N -1, ”he explained. But when there are several simultaneous incidents, security barriers may not be enough.

Despite the uncertainty about the origin of the problem, Morales wanted to highlight with David Broncano the effectiveness of the Spanish system in his reaction. “What is important is that In less than 24 hours everything was already restored ”, He said, remembering that on other occasions, such as the Texas blackout in 2020, there were citizens who spent more than two days without electricity.

In addition, he valued the fact that this was the first real case in which these protocols were put into practice and worked, something that, in his opinion, “It has a huge merit.”

Although the impact of the blackout was indisputable, Morales wanted to reduce drama to the possibility that a similar episode is repeated in the short term. “It is possible, but very unlikely,” pointed out. He also made it clear that, although every system can be reinforced, doing so would imply very high costs. “Everything can be avoided, of course, but the light of the light would have to triple,” he warned. In his opinion, if the ruling was really an exceptional case, “maybe there is nothing to solve.”
