Great Britain’s electricity grid fortified against blackouts after Iberian crash

‘Future-proofing’ measures in hand to avoid a repeat of Spain and Portugal outage, says system operator Neso

Great Britain’s energy system operator says it has significantly improved its monitoring of domestic electricity grids to “future proof” the country’s low-carbon power network.

After widespread power cuts across most of Spain and Portugal in April, the National Energy System Operator (Neso) started work to pinpoint dangerous fluctuations that could lead to outages.
