Beatriz Corredor

Beatriz Corredor is the current President of Red Eléctrica, the operator of the Spanish electricity grid. She is newsworthy due to the ongoing investigation into a significant power outage that affected the Iberian Peninsula on April 28th of the previous year. Recent news articles highlight the government's continued support for Corredor, despite attributing at least partial responsibility for the outage to Red Eléctrica. The outage is reportedly linked to issues with photovoltaic energy and a lack of nuclear power, causing oscillations in the grid. Furthermore, the operation to reinforce the grid following the outage has incurred an estimated cost overrun of 1 billion euros. The Minister for Ecological Transition, Sara Aagesen, has stated that the CNMC (National Commission on Markets and Competition) will determine the responsibilities related to the blackout, but has defended Corredor's position.
