The Committee of the European Electricity Transmission System Operators will conduct a detailed investigation after the incident that occurred on Friday in the interconnection network in the southeastern part of Europe.
The committee’s official announcement states that investigations will be conducted by a group of experts in accordance with the methodology of the incident classification scale.
“We are collecting all the technical data about this event from the affected TSOs and will provide more information as soon as possible,” said the announcement of the Committee of European Transmission System Operators.
The incident resulted in power outages in Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina and a partial outage in Croatia. The affected TSOs, with the support of neighboring TSOs, restored power to their networks within approximately 2 hours, aiming to minimize the impact of the outage on consumers. However,
according to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Belinda Balluku, the danger has not passed. “Despite the fact that the whole country is now supplied with electricity, it must be said that we continue to be in a high risk area, as the transmission volumes on the interconnection lines are very large at these moments and on the other hand the temperatures will be , at record levels in the following days as well.
It must be said that we are in constant communication with all other broadcast operators in the region to coordinate work with them,” she said. According to Croatian officials referred to by the Montenegrin media “Vijesti”, the collapse could have hit all of Europe, because the energy systems are connected. While the official investigation by the European authorities usually lasts six months.
