Endesa’s new transformer station in Las Cañadas will improve the electricity supply from next month for more than 2,000 local residents, who have historically suffered from grid failures that have constantly disrupted their daily lives. Trenching and underground cabling work could be completed by next week.

The new transformer station, which is now complete, is connected to the Las Cañadas substation and will serve this neighbourhood exclusively. The installation of new cabling, ducting and connections is currently underway and nearing completion, paving the way to replace equipment that is over 40 years old.

 

According to the councillor responsible for Energy Efficiency, Juan José Torres Trella (PP), “residents contacted us last year because they were experiencing issues such as voltage surges, power cuts and other electricity probloms in the Las Cañadas area, just as is happening in Mijas Pueblo and El Juncal. We began meeting with the company’s management to highlight the urgent need for these investments. As a result, Endesa committed to taking action in Las Cañadas to guarantee the supply, underground some overhead lines and increase power capacity in certain areas”.

The complaints and reports regarding the constant supply issues, which were not limited to blackouts but also included damage to electrical appliances, have therefore borne fruit with these works. According to the Town Hall, around 2,000 residents will benefit from the measures put in place.
