欧委会拟编制草案开展集中规划，加速关键跨境电力项目实施。根据草案，50亿欧元电网投资将为能源 系统节约80亿欧元成本。若不尽快采取行动，2040年前电网限制将迫使欧盟减少310太瓦时可再生能源 利用率，相当于2023年欧盟家庭用电量的一半。 为解决审批长期滞后问题、提升项目推进效率，欧委会还拟修改相关法规，包括对部分能源基础设施项 目豁免环境评估，小型可再生能源及储能项目无需环境许可、电网相关审批时限缩短，新建电动车充电 设施最长六个月自动获批等。 路透社近日报道，欧盟计划加快跨境能源基础设施建设，疏通电网瓶颈，推动新输电线路落地。尽管当 前欧盟成员国大量部署低成本可再生能源，但电网扩容和改造滞后，导致风电、光伏发电受限、电力浪 费增加，并推高用电成本。目前，欧洲能源价格是中国和美国的2至3倍，严重影响其产业竞争力。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent large-scale power outage in Spain and Portugal has highlighted significant vulnerabilities in the energy infrastructure, particularly the aging systems and the challenges associated with the transition to renewable energy sources [1][4][5]. Group 1: Incident Overview - On April 28, Spain and Portugal experienced a massive power outage, one of the most severe in recent European history, with Spain losing 60% of its power supply in just five seconds [1][4]. - The outage led to significant disruptions, including traffic congestion, communication failures, and public service interruptions, prompting the Spanish Interior Ministry to declare a national emergency [4]. Group 2: Recovery and Current Status - By April 29, power supply in both countries had largely been restored, although some areas continued to experience minor issues due to unstable circuits [1][4]. - The Spanish government has initiated an investigation into the causes of the outage and has committed to improving the energy system [4][5]. Group 3: Infrastructure Challenges - Approximately 70% of the electricity infrastructure in Spain and Portugal was built before the 1980s, which has been under increasing pressure due to rapid growth in electricity demand and consumption [5]. - Spain has made significant strides in developing renewable energy, particularly in wind and solar power, but has not sufficiently invested in the necessary supporting infrastructure and interconnectivity to manage the increased instability and volatility of renewable energy generation [5][8]. Group 4: Analysis and Implications - Experts suggest that the sudden drop in solar power generation may have contributed to the outage, emphasizing the need for countries to ensure the safe use of renewable energy [6][7]. - The incident serves as a warning to other nations about the importance of energy security, which encompasses not only supply but also infrastructure safety and interconnectivity [9][10].
