Red Eléctrica (REE)

Red Eléctrica (REE) is the Spanish national grid operator, responsible for ensuring the stability and security of the electricity supply. Recent news highlights two separate issues involving the organization. First, audio recordings related to a power outage on April 28th reveal widespread panic among energy operators, including those at the Ascó nuclear power plant, suggesting pre-existing concerns about grid stability. The recordings indicate significant voltage problems within the network. Second, REE's president, Beatriz Corredor, has been targeted by online harassment. Journalist Vito Quiles is facing legal action for allegedly revealing her home address and publishing photos of her property on social media, an incident that occurred shortly after the aforementioned power outage. This raises concerns about the safety and privacy of public figures and the potential for online harassment related to their professional roles.
