Power cuts hit three Almería tourist towns in one week as mayors demand grid investment
Air conditioning units have cut out mid-heatwave, tills have gone dark and hotel guests have been left without power during […]
Mojácar, one of several Almería coastal towns experiencing repeated power cuts during the summer tourist season, has demanded that the region's ageing electricity network receive the necessary investment. Mayor Francisco García Cerdá of Mojácar expressed the residents' frustration with the unpredictable power outages during the hottest months, stating that this is a basic service that residents need to rely on.
This demand for improved grid investment came from Mojácar, Almería capital, and Níjar within a single week, as heatwaves and increased population strain the local grids. In Almería capital, a summer of frequent power cuts in specific neighbourhoods led to an agreement between the town hall and Endesa for five new transformation centres to reinforce the network.
However, Mojácar and Níjar have yet to receive concrete timelines for their own improvements. The three town halls are effectively questioning the reliability of the network, especially during peak tourist seasons when the demand for air conditioning and cooling systems is at its highest.
