MADRID, June 23 (Reuters) - Spanish power utilities lobby Aelec said on Monday that Spain's power plants complied with orders from national grid operator REE during the massive blackout across Spain and Portugal on April 28 and should not be blamed for causing the outage. Earlier this month, a government report found that REE's REDE.MC failure to calculate the correct mix of energy was one of the factors hindering the grid's ability to cope with the power outage.
