Recent power cuts in Almuñécar and La Herradura have the locals worried that Semana Santa will have the same kind of black outs as last year, with the town packed out with tourists.
It was around 09.30h on the morning of the 8th of March that the Huerta Carrasco district of Motril saw a fleet of police vehicles and Endesa ones pulled up – it was a surprise visit.
The utilities company, Endesa, has been fined by the Junta 400,000 euros for having abusive clauses in their meter contracts and charges for non-existent services.
When you hear that somebody has illegally connected up to power supply, it’s normally just somebody’s house, but in this case, it’s four hotels.
Endesa has done it again: last year it was Almuñécar that suffered a power cut on the big night; this year it was Salobreña’s turn.
The utilities company, Endesa, has been sending out warnings to its clients via Internet concerning bogus & malicious emails, supposedly from the company but in reality from hackers after your money.
The volunteer body, Protección Civil de Almuñécar, had a day’s training on HT electricity lines in connection with forest fires, etc.
