The cause of the latest blackout in La Palma has been identified, the third in less than two weeks.
Most of the approximately 17,000 people affected by the ‘blackout’ had service restored within 20-35 minutes, but 355 customers remained without power for longer. Electricity company Endesa confirmed the outages on the 11th of May were caused by damage to the underground cable around the former Brena Alta airport. It is said that the damages were caused by heavy machinery operated by someone other than the power company.
