Noticias:

This Thursday from 00.00 to 3.00 in the morning there will be power cuts in Tuineje and Pájara.

In principle the cut for improvements in the network was scheduled for last week and has been moved to this Thursday.
Endesa informs its customers residing in the municipalities of Tuineje and Pájara, on the island of Fuerteventura, that the supply cut scheduled for Thursday, October 30, is moved to Thursday, November 3, in the range from 00.00 to 03.00 hours. This situation occurs as a result of the improvement works in the Transmission Grid that will be carried out by the Redeia group, formerly Red Eléctrica Española (REE). For this reason, Endesa warns its users of this temporary interruption and hopes that when it occurs in the early hours of the morning, the inconvenience that may be caused will be reduced.

 

In this sense, Redeia will temporarily leave the electrical transmission substations of Gran Tarajal 66kV and Matas Blancas 66kV without voltage to carry out repair and adaptation works of the underground section of the 66 kV Las Salinas-Gran Tarajal line on the island of Fuerteventura.

 
The works planned by Redeia in the transport network will mean an interruption of supply to customers and to Endesa's generation connected to the distribution network, affecting a market of some 15,519 customers residing in the municipalities of Tuineje (Tarajalejo, Valle de Tarajalejo, Marco Sánchez, Tamaretilla, Cardón, Montaña Cendida, La Calabaza, Valle de Tesejerague, Tesejerague, Los Adejes, Giniginámar, Valle de Giniginamar, Violante, Mazacote, Piedra Hincada, Diego Alonso, Finca Araña, El Polvorín, La Fuentita, El Charco, El Aceitún Gran Tarajal) and Pájara (Morro Jable, Solana Matorral, Las Gaviotas, Esquinzo, Cañada del Rio, Costa Calma, La Pared, Las Hermosas, Ugán, Tarajal de Sancho, Valle Lajita and Lajita).

An unplanned power cut.

 At midnight on new years eve, our electric supply went off, after a couple of attempts to reset the system and realising that other properties near us had power, I rang my supplier, who could not explain why, but contacted the company that, t owns the meter, and were told " electric is arriving at your home it is a fault with your electrical system contact an electrician" by now it is 02:45, so the following morning I contact an electrician who said there is no power coming into this property, so I contact my supplier again, and to cut a long story short, the property next to ours is rental and the tenants just seemed to disappear about three weeks ago, and it would seem without paying their power bill, both meters are in a box on their perimeter wall, and in their great wisdom they had remotely disconnected our meter instead of theirs  it took until 14:30 yesterday to restore our power, fortunately little or no harm was done other than to my mood for the day fortunately, we have an upright freezer which normally operates at -18C and was still -2C when the power was restored, and the contents were OK.

Not a great start to the new year

in their great wisdom they had remotely disconnected our meter instead of theirs in their great wisdom they had remotely disconnected our meter instead of theirs 

If this happened at midnight, it has to have been done remotely? So they should have the correct meter numbers... Very irritating! Glad you got it sorted out in the end.

Perhaps a Denuncia is in order? At least ask your power supplier/meter owner for a complaints form!

Thanks, Tamara I had not thought of that, we were so relieved ewe had not lost the contents of the freezer we were going to let it be.
