The electricity restored on the island of La Palma affected by a blackout of the energy a few weeks after the mega-pannia that Spain had touched

Electricity returned completely at the beginning of the night to the island of Palma, in the Spanish Canarian archipelago, deprived of current for a few hours, announced the Endesa energy provider and the Electricity Network of Spain.

“Endesa has restored in less than three hours 100% of the electric supply of Palma Island,” said the electricity supplier in a Press statement from the AFP. A few moments before, Ree had announced a 90% recovery of consumption.

Just six weeks after the giant collapse has affected the entire Iberian Peninsula, but not the Canary Islands, the Spanish island of La Palma, in this archipelago located in Africa, it was deprived of electricity for almost three hours on Tuesday. The breakdown, which lasted this time much shorter than the Mega-Contator of April 28, affected some 82,000 inhabitants in the palm.

The origin of the fault still unknown

“At 5:32 pm, Canarian time (4:32 PM GMT) Today (Tuesday), a total energy failure was produced on Palma Island, leaving without electric supply to all users connected to the island’s network,” the Endesa Energy group announced in a statement transmitted to the AFP. In the social network X, emergency services have indicated that “it activated the Emergency Plan of the Canary Islands in front of the alert due to an ‘Energy Zero’ in La Palma”, a tourist island.

“We are currently analyzing in detail all the recordings, in order to precisely rebuild the exact sequence of the events and determine the origin of the incident,” said Pablo Casado, territorial director of Endesa in the Canary Islands.

Endesa said that “he lamented the inconvenience caused to the inhabitants” and “reaffirmed his commitment to quality, safety and continuity of the electricity supply, as well as the transparency of the information in case of an incident.” The Spanish Electricity (Ree) grid has declared on the social network X that it is “foreign” of this failure. It excluded that the origin of the cut comes from the substation of the Guinchos, thus denying the information attributed to Endesa by the emergency services of the island in a message.
