Spanish cable, French resistance
Spain and Portugal will be sending joint letters to the EU energy commissioner and French energy minister, urging them to apply pressure on the current plans for interconnections, following April’s blackout in the Iberian Peninsula.
But are high costs, local resistance, and fears over the impact of cheap imports stiffening Paris’s opposition to further power links with Spain.
This week we speak to key Spanish and French market experts to unpack some of the issues that the topic of further interconnection raises for the two countries. And for the rest of Europe.
