• The recent total blackout in Spain and Portugal is being analyzed by several entities from different areas, guaranteeing that all responsibility will be revealed to the public.
• The sequence of events indicates a failure in the electrical grid when operating with a large amount of renewable energy.
• The primary responsibility lies with Red Eléctrica (REE), whose largest shareholder is the State, as they manage the energy in Spain.
• The definitive origin of the blackout remains unknown, so there is no guarantee that the event will not repeat itself.
• All related entities, including the Government and REE, have an obligation for transparency and prudence regarding this matter.
• Spain has a competitive advantage in technologies that convert natural resources, such as sun and wind, into energy.

Conclusion: Given the uncertainty of the failure, serious analysis, communication and debate are necessary in the face of the responsibility of each entity and the importance of renewable energies.
