Every summer Almuñécar goes through power blackouts, which is very inconvenient for over 150,000 summer occupants, as well as the hospitality sector.

Consequently, the utility company, Endesa, is carrying out strengthening work on the electrical grid in Almuñécar to improve service-quality and power-supply reliability for over 16,000 dwellings and business premises.

They’re spending 850,000 euros on reinforcing the medium-voltage network by renewing underground lines and laying a new overhead line that will provide a second power feed to the Curumbico (Taramay) area.

Should the power go, this second line will kick in… in theory, but let’s hope that it doesn’t need to, right?

Work on the nine sections of the underground, medium-voltage network, will replace more than 3.6 kilometers of cabling, most of which (8) are in the Velilla area and the nineth runs along the Cabra road where it passes through the municipality.

Needless to say, roads will be dug up and traffic diversions put in place.
