Redeia

Redeia, formerly known as Red Eléctrica, is the Spanish electricity system operator. It is responsible for managing the national power grid and ensuring a stable electricity supply. Redeia is currently newsworthy due to the ongoing investigation into a significant power outage that affected the Iberian Peninsula in April 2025. Recent developments include accusations that Redeia, under the leadership of its president Beatriz Corredor, withheld crucial audio recordings related to the outage from the Senate for eight months. Corredor has appeared before the Senate to address alleged inconsistencies in her previous testimony. The investigation aims to determine the causes of the blackout and assign responsibility. The Minister for Ecological Transition, Sara Aagesen, has stated that the CNMC (National Commission on Markets and Competition) will determine the responsibilities for the power outage. The incident highlights concerns about the stability of the electricity grid, particularly with the increasing reliance on renewable energy sources like solar power.
