The squall ‘Juliette’ that hit the Pitiusas Islands has left several areas of Ibiza without electricity supply and has affected a total of 3,000 customers who have been at some point during the day without electricity. Specifically there have been three failures, all due to the fall of overhead power lines due to adverse weather conditions, as reported by Endesa.
Firstly, a total of 909 users have been without power in the Tunnel line that has affected Sant Rafel and Sant Antoni from 11:30 a.m. to 6:22 p.m., due to the fall of an overhead line. The failure has been completely solved.
